Most refugees are in poor or middle income countries. The global compact on refugees will help us better support them. Thanks to @epsycampbell #SheikhHasina @MevlutCavusoglu @JimYongKim for making the case at #UNGA73. https://t.co/IdsFq5eeNc

As leaders gather in New York, we must hope that #UNGA73 is not just a parade of the powerful but an opportunity to work together to end war, poverty, exile and fear. https://t.co/pQtggLundT

New Zealand will take 1500 refugees/year under an increased resettlement programme. The people of New Zealand and ⁦@jacindaardern⁩’s government deserve praise for this example of solidarity and responsibility sharing. https://t.co/FohQxiS892

Thank you, @khaledhosseini, for saying and proving that hosting refugees not only saves their lives but also brings talent, strength and wealth to hosting nations. https://t.co/ugMDR0Pqn5

Resettlement can be life saving for thousands of vulnerable refugees. It is disappointing to see global refugee resettlement numbers reduced, including allocation of yet fewer resettlement places in the US at a time of record forced displacement in the world. https://t.co/lhIqo2xtj3

The language of politics, in Europe and elsewhere, on the right and on the left, must not allow any space for hatred, exclusion and discrimination, but must condemn them clearly and without conditions. Racism leads societies to ruin. https://t.co/TsdrL63nvY

It is essential that Italy, in law and in practice, continues to apply the principles of international refugee protection. I have had constructive discussions with the government. @GiuseppeConteIT @ItalyMFA @matteosalvinimi @DaniloToninelli https://t.co/i4BftcDRoh

È essenziale che l’Italia, nella legge e nella pratica, continui ad applicare i principi della protezione internazionale dei rifugiati. Ne ho discusso, costruttivamente, con il governo. @GiuseppeConteIT @matteosalvinimi @DaniloToninelli @ItalyMFA @Quirinale https://t.co/MO1nU3bEbT

Pope Francis @Pontifex appeals once more for peace in closing an important @VaticanIHD conference on humanitarian work in Syria and Iraq - and reminds us all not to forget the needs of real people affected by these long conflicts. https://t.co/ZNuIljL2mZ
