Four years of civil war. No serious peace effort so far. The South Sudanese leadership & opposition are responsible for causing the biggest current refugee emergency in the world. https://t.co/Ylk6CLHJrp

Global Compact on Refugees must have concrete impact on human lives - those of refugees & of communities hosting them. We discuss this today+tomorrow at the High Commissioner’s Dialogue in Geneva with 500+ participants. https://t.co/fIejxhndAr

People fleeing persecution, violence and war are often pushed back, imprisoned, discriminated, treated as irregular migrants. Seeking asylum is not a crime. It is a human right. #Humanrightsday2017 https://t.co/4uCTmbE8rL

Guinea Bissau, a small country with limited resources, has accepted to integrate & naturalize 7000 refugees. An example for many larger, wealthier nations. Thank you. https://t.co/KQGuxPP8IC

The wounds of war are many: sexual violence+exploitation & torture of Syrian men+boys are happening - in & outside Syria. A UNHCR study provides info useful to respond+prevent. https://t.co/3DW8GWHBpF
