Congratulations 🇧🇼#Botswana! Your leadership in granting nationality to long-term refugees is a powerful example of local integration, delivering durable solutions, and enabling people to belong to - and to contributefully to - their host communities and society.
When people flee war or persecution, the right to seek asylum is what protects them.
In 2025, millions depended on that protection. The Refugee Convention makes it possible. 75 years later, it’s still more essential than ever.
Until everyone is safe, we keep showing up.
Different stories.
Different journeys.
One shared human right is to seek safety.

In my final statement to Standing Committee, given pressures on int’l protection, I underscored Convention’s 75 anniversary is not just for commemoration but to reinforce protection foundations & announced UNHCR’s effort to modernize core legal guidance unhcr.org/media/opening-rema…
The EU Pact on Migration and Asylum an opportunity for a fair, effective and predictable European asylum system.
Its success will depend on solidarity, efficient procedures and respect for fundamental rights.
UNHCR stands ready to support.

Asylum and protection are life-saving. They’re not up for debate.
Our latest Global Trends Report shows forced displacement fell for the first time in a decade, but 70% of refugees remain in long-term limbo.

How did displaced and stateless people shape the Global Refugee Forum Progress Review?
A new report shows a shift from engagement to influence.
It highlights more visible, meaningful & systematic participation, driven by the Global Compact on Refugees.

Discriminatory nationality laws deny rights across generations.
But we at UNHCR know that change is within reach.
Together with States, civil society and partners, we can uphold every child’s right to a nationality and build more inclusive societies.

UNHCR welcomes Pakistan’s Citizenship Amendment Act 2026 as a strong step toward gender equality and citizenship rights. By boosting protections and helping prevent statelessness, it reinforces dignity, inclusion, and justice, especially for women and their children.
28 years on, the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement remain the global standard.
They place rights at the centre for people forced to flee within their own countries.
They are both a reminder and a responsibility: to turn principles into protection.
The Global #RefugeeForum Progress Review outcomes document has been issued. It was a critical moment for the world to come together and share lessons learned and recommendations for the next GRF.
The result? Real progress toward solutions for refugees. unhcr.org/media/outcomes-glo…
In Kaya 🇧🇫 I met women forced to flee violence, who’ve lost their homes, livelihoods & support networks.
What stood out most was their resilience. Together they are rebuilding their lives, supporting each other & helping their communities recover. Their courage is extraordinary
In 24 countries, women cannot confer nationality on an equal basis with men, placing children at risk of statelessness. @Refugees remains steadfast in calling for gender equal nationality rights & efforts to end statelessness

Discriminatory laws and weak legal protections continue to erode the safety of displaced and stateless women and girls.
True protection means dismantling these barriers so every woman and girl has the power to define her own future.

Deeply alarmed by the escalating conflict in the Middle East and beyond. Restraint and dialogue are urgently needed. Civilians must be protected and international humanitarian law upheld. UNHCR is mobilizing to support those forced to flee and remains on the ground delivering aid
Families fleeing airstrikes are arriving in Batroun, Lebanon with almost nothing.
Together with our partners, UNHCR is already delivering aid and we stand ready to scale up support.
Sustained solidarity with the people of Lebanon is critical. unh.cr/XyKbXn
Four years on, civilians in Ukraine are still paying the highest price.
As attacks intensify, protection must remain at the centre of the response for those displaced, those newly evacuated and those staying in frontline communities.
We cannot let solidarity fade.
2 years after the adoption of the Protocol on the Right to a Nationality, @Refugees joins @achpr_cadhp in calling for its ratification. This landmark African framework is vital to protecting people from statelessness and ensuring the right to a nationality xitter.cf/achpr_cadhp/status/202…
Displacement takes people from their homes but it can’t take away our shared humanity.
In this month of mercy, your solidarity matters and it makes a world of difference in the lives of people forced to flee.

In Tanzania & across the region we've seen that the best and most lasting solution for Burundian refugees, after many years in exile, is to return home and rebuild their lives with dignity. UNHCR will continue to support informed, safe and voluntary repatriation to #Burundi
