UN High Commissioner for Refugees Says Refugee Forum is “Much-Needed Moment of Global Unity”

The Second Global Refugee Forum, which will take place on Dec. 13-15 in Geneva, is “a much-needed moment of global unity, where those who are determined to keep searching for solutions will come together to meet the huge challenge of forced displacement,” writes Filippo Grandi, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, in the Guardian.

“An array of participants – states, the private sector and charitable foundations, international financial institutions, UN agencies, humanitarian and development organizations of all sizes, cities and local authorities, NGOs, refugee-led organizations, faith groups and others – will make concrete and transformational pledges and contributions, and take stock of the progress made since the first forum in 2019,” he wrote in the Op-Ed.
