We urge states to resettle as many refugees as possible in 2020 and to maintain resettlement quotas for 2021. Resettlement travel can be managed safely with proper protocols in place. Resettlement saves lives. https://t.co/zHTEcVs65s https://t.co/HziPswJM34

Low quotas and the impact of COVID have meant that we are witnessing one of the lowest levels of resettlement in almost two decades. This is a blow for refugee protection and for the ability to save lives and protect those most at risk. https://t.co/zHTEcVs65s

How can States protect children on the move? - Ensure their basic rights incl. access to asylum, - Never place them in detention, - Protect them from refoulement, and - Always put their best interests first. This is possible. Mexico has now done so: https://t.co/2Be1C8Pp1F

From exclusion, marginalization and increased health risks, COVID-19 has worsened the plight of millions of stateless people worldwide. On the 6th anniversary of UNHCR’s #IBelong campaign we urge world leaders to #EndStatelessness once and for all. https://t.co/2xJsIU1Ljh

It's 20 yrs since the Sec Council Res 1325 on women, peace and security and the first #WomenFaithDiplomacy Assembly opened today. More than ever in a world facing COVID and conflict, women must have a place at the negotiating table for lasting peace. https://t.co/ivRNaimSNL

Nobody should be left behind and unprotected. It is imperative that refugees, and displaced and stateless people be included in the full range of responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, from public health responses to national social safety nets. https://t.co/HqerzeaWRb https://t.co/TRVLY1T7De

As COVID-19 doesn’t distinguish between legal status or nationality, inclusion is key in curbing the spread of the virus. Access to health services shouldn’t depend on citizenship or visa conditions. https://t.co/HqerzeaWRb https://t.co/CsbP1NLUR2

Restrictions impeding access to asylum, spiraling gender-based violence, risks of unsafe returns and abject poverty are among some of the deep and hard-hitting impacts the coronavirus pandemic has inflicted on refugees, displaced and stateless people. https://t.co/HqerzeaWRb

The human and financial cost of responding to crises rather than investing in prevention is astounding. We urge govts and partners to continue to support efforts to address the root causes of displacement. Peace is needed more than ever.   #GenevaPeaceWeek https://t.co/TGi6pzoRQ8
