Expert on migration and refugees. I work for @Refugees @UNHCRUSA. Personal account.

[UNHCR United States @UNHCRUSA]

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 https://t.co/G1IvYrgIA8

Well said @volker_turk

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

.@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 United States @UNHCRUSA]

UNHCR remains concerned about the already precarious situation of thousands of people on the move in the Americas.

Their rights need to be upheld.

[UNHCR United States @UNHCRUSA]

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.

❓ Do you represent or advocate for asylum seekers in the U.S.? 

🆕 Our resources will help you navigate different profiles of asylum claims — children, women, LGBTIQ+ individuals, Central American and Mexican applicants, and more.

[UNHCR United States @UNHCRUSA]

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.
