People whose lives and safety could be at risk due to violence or persecution should not be returned to danger.
UNHCR considers that the United States’ new asylum regulation does not provide sufficient safeguards against such risk.

We welcome today's U.S. announcement on statelessness, an important step toward identifying and protecting stateless people in the country.
This gives renewed hope for those who, deprived of the basic right to nationality, live in uncertainty. #IBelong unhcr.org/us/news/press-rele…
I thought I was beyond being shocked but this is horrific. nytimes.com/2023/05/19/world…

Well said @volker_turk
.@volker_turk: New US border enforcement measures risk undermining the basic foundations of international human rights and refugee law. “The right to seek asylum is a human right, no matter a person’s origin, immigration status, nor how they arrived at an international border.”

UNHCR remains concerned about the already precarious situation of thousands of people on the move in the Americas.
Their rights need to be upheld.
Alice Farmer retweeted
UNHCR is seriously concerned about the expanded use of Title 42 and other announced measures preventing the right to seek asylum in the US.
We also recognize the importance of the US decision extending pathways for a significant number of vulnerable people to enter the country.
Students from the global south especially welcome! @ianmkysel

We welcome plans to end Title 42 restrictions at U.S. borders. For too long, it has endangered people forced to flee.
Fair access to asylum for those who need it is achievable — and essential to humane and orderly border management.
Seeking asylum is a human right.
