Across the world, countless parliamentarians have been leaders in welcoming refugees and pushing for the protection of their rights. Today on the International Day of Parliamentarism we acknowledge their work and value their support. https://t.co/ZyShqqPB7l

For the millions of the world's stateless, a lack of nationality has hugely damaging impacts on their fundamental human rights. Stateless people may be excluded from COVID-19 vaccination. We appeal to States to make sure they are not left behind: https://t.co/WAmEdo4Lrh

We estimate 1.47 million at-risk refugees will need to be resettled next year.   But we face a huge deficit of places. Fewer than 35,000 refugees out of 20.7 million were resettled in 2021, despite rising displacement and worsening humanitarian needs. https://t.co/V7hYugmxmo

The right to seek asylum and to live in safety and protection is a fundamental human right.   On #WorldRefugeeDay we reflect on the plight of all those who have been forced to flee their homes, and urge the world to do more to protect and uphold their rights. https://t.co/egI49mTMV2

There are now 82.4 million forcibly displaced people in the world. This marks an almost decade-long trend of rising displacement. To halt this, world leaders must step up to address the conflicts and persecution that force people to flee in the first place https://t.co/6N8fRK0Udc

Despite the pandemic, lawyers around the world mobilized in unprecedented ways to help refugees and displaced and stateless people. They provided 165,000 hours of free legal aid, helping them access justice and life-changing legal advice and representation https://t.co/veKi7Cdrod

LGBTIQ+ people around the world face violence and discrimination. Those forced to flee face risks of violence and persecution even during displacement. We call on states and communities to commit more to prevent and address violations, and protect rights. https://t.co/VmhLUgYGc1

I met EU interior ministers today and stressed the critical need to provide protection to asylum seekers and refugees in the EU. I encouraged them to continue work on the proposed EU Pact and expedite work to manage arrivals over the summer months. https://t.co/AkYND36mFr
