In Sudan, we have been reporting a shocking array of humanitarian issues and human rights violations, including indiscriminate attacks. UNHCR urges states to keep their borders open to Sudanese seeking protection and to suspend negative asylum decisions. https://t.co/9joBvBN8k9

10 years ago, Korea became one of the first countries in Asia to enact a stand-alone Refugee Act, to strengthen its protection and asylum capacity. I met with the Korean Immigration Service to see how UNHCR can better support the Government in enhancing their asylum system. https://t.co/WdndcF5SbX

Korea and its people have been steadfast supporters of UNHCR and its work. In Seoul I met with @mofa_kr to see how we can further engage to help those forcibly displaced and affected by crises across the world. https://t.co/nttHNzZCax

The High Commissioner is appealing to all countries neighbouring Sudan to keep their borders open to people seeking safety and protection. UNHCR is stepping up its support to their governments as they prepare for larger numbers of arrivals. https://t.co/gqeYNMqZbl

Racism & racial discrimination are all too often drivers of displacement. Racism & racial discrimination are also often an underlying reason refugees cannot seek or enjoy safety during displacement. We all have a role to play in interrupting such behaviour.https://t.co/Z4sX6K6pYz

The plight of Afghans in host countries is extremely challenging. Record inflation, increased living costs, natural disasters & worsening human rights in Afghanistan, particularly for women and girls, are limiting solutions. Our refugee response plan: https://t.co/ZubwWRiLoL

Today we committed to build bridges between the ’51 Refugee Convention and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Crucial work for ensuring refugees with disabilities are included, not excluded. @SR_Disability @IDA_CRPD_Forum @UnAlbinism https://t.co/uf1NYkgVP7

Today I addressed the 178 member parliaments at the Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union held in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Refugee-hosting countries need financial, material and technical support, and for this, parliamentarians are vital. https://t.co/FGm4UJ3FuB
