🇱🇧 Beyond words - civilians and humanitarians should never be a target. It is devastating that we have to keep repeating: Protection of civilians is a must! Sincere condolences to our colleagues’ loved ones in Lebanon.

🇨🇩 Merci Judith SUMINWA TULUKA pour l’accueil et l’échange engagé sur la protection des personnes réfugiées, déplacées et rapatriées, ainsi que sur le travail conjoint contre l’apatridie. Vos efforts pour le retour de la paix sont décisifs pour trouver des solutions durables.

🇨🇩IDPs I met in Ituri & North Kivu have experienced unimaginable horrors. Safety, access to justice, education, livelihoods are vital to rebuild homes & lives. Encouraged by efforts to find solutions incl. local integration. UNHCR continues supporting authorities in eastern DRC

🇨🇩Grateful for the humbling discussion in North Kivu with the forcibly displaced women in UNHCR-supported women’s committees. They called for the end of armed conflict, protection of women&girls from sexual violence and empowerment through livelihoods & community leadership.

Congratulations to the 2024 #NansenAward winners. For the first time, all five awardees are women. They are compassionate leaders who have dedicated their lives to helping refugees, displaced and stateless people. Their courage and stories are inspiring: bit.ly/47XGZWq

🇨🇩In Ituri, even in the midst of conflict that threatens 49,300 displaced, I witnessed strong commitment to solutions, incl. local integration schemes benefitting the displaced & their hosts. The int’l community can & should support these efforts by authorities and other actors.

Moved by Nosizi’s testimony at ExCom today on her path to Kenyan citizenship - and graduation. As the #IBelong campaign concludes with pride, the Global Alliance to End Statelessness is poised to realize the bold vision of a world free from statelessness. It is within reach.

In the over 20 operations I visited since taking up functions, the displaced shared accounts of harrowing realities & protection challenges. At #ExCom I stressed that protecting populations we serve is not optional, host communities deserve support and seeking asylum is a right

🇹🇲Today I congratulated Turkmenistan on joining the #GlobalAlliance to #EndStatelessness With Kyrgyz Republic & Turkmenistan leading the way globally, Central Asia could be the first region to resolve all known cases of statelessness. Global Alliance to End Statelessness unhcr.org/centralasia/en…

When policies and rhetoric challenge international protection principles, we resort to the strength of collective commitment and action. Building on the 1951 Convention, the Global #RefugeeCompact helps us do just that. For more: globalcompactrefugees.org/news-stories/r…

🇱🇰 We commemorated UNHCR’s 37 years in Sri Lanka this week by highlighting partnerships as a way to overcome challenges together. The collaboration in Sri Lanka is exemplary of how protection must remain at the heart of every humanitarian action. unhcr.org/asia/news/pres…

At UNHCR, we’re committed to working with partners to ensure laws and policies protect #IDPs. Our second Global Report on Law & Policy on Internal Displacement will help policymakers and practitioners do just that. Join us at the launch event on 10 March: shorturl.at/xpQb6

Women and girls fleeing war deserve safety—not more risk of rape and violence. Without urgent funding, safe houses will close, survivors will be turned away and support will vanish. This is heartbreaking and unacceptable.

Two years of brutal war in Sudan. Families still on the run. Children alone. Women unsafe. Communities shattered. Sudan’s people need safety now. But needs are growing and support is falling short. #KeepEyesOnSudan

The situation in eastern #DRC is catastrophic.   Millions displaced, women and children at growing risk of sexual violence. Survivors are being failed.   We must act now to ensure protection and access to aid and uphold human dignity.   Read: unhcr.org/news/announcem…

Costa Rica hosts +245,000 Nicaraguan refugees and asylum seekers—5% of its population. But with a 41% cut to UNHCR’s budget, vital services are vanishing. I met with national authorities: urgent funding is needed to preserve the asylum system.

From Nicaragua’s Caribbean Coast to Costa Rica, Mama Tara and other Miskito refugees carry a long history of resistance and exclusion. Forced displacement has deepened their vulnerabilities. We must ensure Indigenous people displaced by violence and persecution aren’t left behind

Visiting Bojayá, Chocó—a community in Colombia deeply affected by the 2002 massacre—highlighted the lasting impact of conflict. More progress is needed on reparations, solutions, and State presence. UNHCR remains committed to supporting affected communities.

Costa Rica is hosting over 200,000 Nicaraguan refugees, nearly 4% of its population 🇨🇷 This is what solidarity under strain looks like. But a 41% cut to UNHCR funding is forcing life-saving services to shut down. The world must step up. unhcr.org/news/briefing-…
