75 years ago, the world made a promise to protect people forced to flee war, violence and persecution.

Today, 75 global voices stand in solidarity with that commitment.

They have joined a growing coalition reaffirming The Promise of the Refugee Convention.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Refugees flee war, conflict or persecution. And they have specific rights that world has agreed on.

Conflating refugees and migrants can have serious consequences for the lives and safety of refugees.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

As a global community, we are failing Congolese refugees in the Busuma refugee camp in Burundi.

They are asking for the essentials and a chance to live in dignity.

Help us ensure refugees receive the assistance they urgently need. Donate today: https://t.co/t31p7QDv9J

Refugees are no different from you and I - home is where they belong, home is where they should be at.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Nobody chooses to flee their home unless they have to.

And even in the hardest conditions, most people who are forced to flee still want to return.

On his first #WorldRefugeeDay as High Commissioner, @BarhamSalih is with refugees in Ethiopia, paying tribute to all people forced to flee.

Refugees shouldn’t spend decades in limbo. We must invest in solutions that help refugees & host communities build their futures together.

[Toshitsuki Kawauchi @ToshitsukiK]

Hence the importance of identifying who refugees are, among all who cross over international borders...

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Refugees. Migrants. They’re not the same.

Blurring the two terms takes attention away from the specific legal protections refugees require.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

We will listen. We will act. We will refuse to look away.

Today is #WorldRefugeeDay. It is a reminder to join in solidarity with people forced to flee.

No matter who they are or where they come from.

Are you with us?
