Once again from Afghanistan comes to us a tragic reminder that there are men, women and children for whom deadly violence is a real risk, everywhere, every day. In thought and prayer with the families of the victims, and with all those affected. https://t.co/WICIyWd92Q

In rich countries, governments increase controls to stop population movements. But investing resources in ending wars, reducing poverty, responding to climate change and providing education is more effective than barbed wire. (photo @thomaswatkins - AFP/Getty Images) https://t.co/dW9jeu1N5p

For most people citizenship is a given. Not so for the stateless - who are thus deprived of many basic rights. Support the #iBelong campaign to end #statelessness! https://t.co/5dQqqv1r5r

UN High Commissioner for human rights @mbachelet speaks at the annual meeting of international gender champions hosted by @CanadaUNGeneva - advocates that we “lead by example” in fighting discrimination, inequality, and hate. https://t.co/qlr0CvUTqY

100 years ago, the Great War ended, but aggressive nationalism soon prevailed, leading the world to a new, catastrophic conflict. 100 years later, we must remember and reflect: if nations do not work together, future generations won’t be saved from the scourge of war. https://t.co/Ftx2GqU1DT

Everyday, in many countries, asylum seekers are refused entry. Thank you, Canada, for this important recognition that asylum saves lives. https://t.co/g1nOGmA9VQ

“A moment when practical people came together to chart a course towards a better, fairer, more equitable response to refugee crises”: speaking to states at the @UN General Assembly today, and encouraging them to adopt a global compact on refugees. https://t.co/GRzNwdpZvr

We at UNHCR stand in solidarity with @HIASrefugees - with the values they uphold and with the refugees to whom they offer protection, support and hope in the US and abroad. https://t.co/6PgSC1beJj

I have just visited Korea and Japan, where I have encouraged governments to match their strong support to refugees abroad with greater acceptance of refugees at home - through more resettlement and improved asylum measures. https://t.co/9AzNaUwZox
