There are at least 1.6 million people stateless or of undetermined nationality across West Africa. UNHCR applauds the progress of many countries in the region to combat statelessness and we congratulate Togo, as the latest country to join the UN Statelessness Conventions. https://t.co/63RkGKx3VK

I visited @IKEAHrvatska in Zagreb last week, where IKEA provides work and internship training for refugees. This is a great example of how the private sector can welcome refugees, promote self-sufficiency, and push for their inclusion in the wider community. https://t.co/VDSjQ0jnKu

We are appalled by increasing attacks against civilians in Burkina Faso. More than 1.3 million have been forced to flee over the last 2 years. We urge the world to pay attention to what is happening in the Central Sahel and prevent further human suffering. https://t.co/YV1Vks7520

This week we strengthened our long-standing partnership with @EASO to provide better protection for asylum seekers. We share the same vision in ensuring fair and fast asylum procedures – critical for the rapid determination of claims and the protection of refugees. https://t.co/uzwfDzWxPG

I've had constructive discussions with Croatian authorities on refugee protection issues. While we understand the immense pressures the country faces in light of continuing mixed movements, people in need of protection must be able to access asylum. https://t.co/u375gIjAFb

I am moved by the hospitality shown by the local communities in the Croatian cities of Petrinja and Sisak. Despite their own hardship following December’s earthquake, they have remained steadfast in their solidarity, supporting refugees and stateless people who were also affected https://t.co/wfvoqqtbXc

Thousands of refugees + migrants continue to enter BiH in mixed movements, straining reception capacities and the asylum system. Shared responsibility among different regions of the country is crucial to alleviate pressures on the most impacted communities https://t.co/Nc9Fat8UUs

I am in Bosnia and Herzegovina where UNHCR has been present for decades, helping those forcibly displaced. Today, it continues its work supporting authorities and humanitarian partners to identify and support those in need of protection. https://t.co/EdOWHMrBsh

I am immensely honored to receive the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg award today with seven other laureates in recognition of our efforts to promote the rule of law and gender equity. https://t.co/9jM1nV2xBv

More must be done by states and civil society to improve the protection of displaced LGBTIQ+ people. At UNHCR we’re redoubling efforts to strengthen our internal capacities, and to create a platform to bring together a bigger, stronger coalition to address these challenges. https://t.co/9Bf6arnAf8
