On #WorldRefugeeDay we remember that protecting people fleeing persecution, violence and war is a basic act of humanity shared by all cultures and enshrined in international law. https://t.co/301Bgt9Rmg

Flying tonight from Libya to Niger with 122 refugees freed from detention centers in Tripoli. Hopefully they will be resettled to third countries soon. This programme is crucial: it provides safe, orderly alternatives to people smuggling and exploitation. https://t.co/T6YwLFln6K

More people than ever are uprooted from their homes by war and violence. More than ever, solidarity is needed to offer them refuge and hope. https://t.co/fb5W3YxdER

With displaced Libyan children from Tawergha. All attention is on refugees and migrants transiting through Libya. Hundreds of thousands of Libyan displaced people are often forgotten: yet internal conflict has caused hardship to many. https://t.co/DAYX8eRU29

Starting my visit to Libya by remembering all those who have lost their lives in desperate attempts to cross the sea. They are people, not numbers. Women, men, children. May they rest in peace. https://t.co/ehyD3SngRk

In Libya, at the start of a trip along the routes of refugees+migrants. Some crossed the sea. Some died. Some are trapped. UNHCR, @UNmigration & partners are here. We believe the situation can be managed, given the right resources, approaches & international support. https://t.co/TUoYIHmXmX

Rescue at sea is not a choice. Regional disembarkation arrangements must become predictable. The ordeal of the Aquarius must not happen again. https://t.co/rlAtYs52bW

Acts of daily courage in helping Rohingya refugees through the monsoon season. Respect. https://t.co/10G5ACA3UZ
