At the EU High-level Forum on providing protection to Afghans at risk I said to the @EU_Commission and European governments that 85,000 Afghan refugees are likely to need urgent resettlement places in the next 5 years and asked the EU to consider offering half of these places. https://t.co/lbTHDORZui

Seldom have our agility, flexibility and adaptability been as tested. Seldom has our approach so clearly paid off. Faced with COVID-19 our teams remained steadfast, serving the needs of people of concern with courage and tenacity. (@KellyTClements to UNHCR’s Executive Committee) https://t.co/UPogm64UKL

States have the right to manage borders but must respect refugee law, including the right to seek asylum, the prohibition on refoulement and the obligation not to penalize asylum-seekers entering a country without authorization.

With @DrWorkneh @igadsecretariat and the two respective governments we held an important meeting on solutions to forced displacement in Sudan and South Sudan in the margins of UNHCR’s ExCom. A key opportunity to engage regional States and major donor partners on concrete plans. https://t.co/NgbjL8r1Iz

Thanks @PMaurerICRC for joining me at a side-event of UNHCR’s Executive Committee session. We briefed States on our recent Afghanistan visits. A clear conclusion: engagement by the international community is crucial to avoid Afghanistan’s implosion and a humanitarian disaster. https://t.co/Q7D6YTrR42
