Despite the pandemic, many states, organizations, and businesses have been resolute in their commitment to support refugees and have already delivered on their pledges, adapting or accelerating them where possible. https://t.co/WyVL2Zxhlu

A lot has changed since the first Global #RefugeeForum was held nine months ago – but COVID-19 has not stopped us from delivering on our commitments. I am pleased to share the first in a series of updates highlighting progress here: https://t.co/MMwV2cIGhJ

The Global Compact on Refugees recognizes the critical role faith-based actors can have in service of the refugee cause. I look forward to working with @religions4peace and engaging with the Multi-Religious Council of Leaders to take forward and strengthen these efforts. https://t.co/7bdXFcg8CB

Terrible news from Moria. We’re extremely concerned about the situation for the 12,000 asylum seekers there including pregnant women, the elderly and more than 4,000 children. Our staff are on the ground and we’re offering our assistance to the authorities https://t.co/iRYSSafVqg

We met vulnerable children and their families in Athens waiting for relocation to 🇩🇪. Pleased that 118 vulnerable asylum seekers departed 🇬🇷 yesterday as part of an #EUsolidarity scheme with @refugees, @IOMGreece, @govgr, @EUHomeAffairs, @UNmigration @UNICEF and @EASO support. https://t.co/xhj9s44nlo

In Greece we have had very constructive and open exchanges with authorities on the need to safeguard the right to seek asylum, to ensure access to territory for those in need of protection and to investigate the reports of pushbacks at land and sea: https://t.co/8IUcI3sJCl

Greece and its people have shown immense solidarity and compassion with thousands of refugees and asylum seekers who have sought protection and safety. I am here with @RaoufMazou and @UNHCRGreece to see how we can do more for refugees and support Greece’s efforts. https://t.co/9pZEjabHJL

We remain committed to working with States and partners in both resettlement and host countries to ensure resettlement remains a vital life-saving protection tool, but we need more countries to restart the program.

Resettlement can mean the difference between life and death for many refugees but there remains a huge dearth of places. This year, more than 1.4 million refugees at risk need to be resettled but to date less than 50,000 places have been made available. https://t.co/cuN801uUN1

These immigration systems have evolved since the time in which Stateless was set. But it’s important we continue to discuss the impact they have on the ongoing global displacement crisis. Please listen to the full episode: https://t.co/EC6k4Ps7zS
