Thank you Minister Jean Asselborn for a very productive meeting today. And for Luxembourg's leadership in protecting refugees in the EU + support to UNHCR's work across the globe. https://t.co/pp5lMb1Fn2

We firmly oppose the practice of "Externalization". Such practices undermine the rights of those seeking safety and protection, demonize and punish them and may put their lives at risk. https://t.co/PPHqI0vGPR

There are currently more than 880,000 stateless Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. We urge the world to step up and do more to help Rohingya refugees and their hosts, who have generously hosted them for decades. #RohingyaResponse https://t.co/bGiHmf7u7t https://t.co/oex61GvykK

Our thoughts are with all those who are persecuted or forced to flee because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We remain resolute in our commitment to safeguard their rights and call on countries to keep their doors open for those at risk. https://t.co/oQZrQQkctf

RT @FilippoGrandi: Today our thoughts must also be with millions of people in Afghanistan and Palestine; among Rohingya and Syrian refugees…

UNHCR has serious concerns about the UK's plans for asylum reform.   If implemented, the plans would likely cause human suffering, undermine the 1951 Refugee Convention and run against the spirit of international cooperation. https://t.co/j4t9chhHSr

States have made great efforts to admit refugees through these pathways. While they do not substitute for resettlement and humanitarian admissions they are safe and orderly forms of entry that can save lives and benefit many refugees. We mustn't let Covid-19 thwart their progress

Our latest study released today, examines the ways in which OECD states are admitting refugees. More than 1.5 million from major refugee source countries were admitted by 35 OECD countries in the decade just prior to COVID on family, work and study permits.https://t.co/2pvT65T6v4

48% of all school age refugee children are out of school. Tomorrow we'll be discussing ways in which the private sector can help change this and support refugee education as we build back from Covid-19. Join us here at: https://t.co/b8HisluKlN #RefugeeForum https://t.co/TIBbHZUI6l
