On #WorldRefugeeDay, let's reaffirm the world’s collective responsibility in assisting & welcoming refugees, in upholding their human rights - including the right to seek asylum - and ultimately, in resolving conflicts so that those forced from their communities can return home.

Exciting start to #WorldRefugeeDay at the Bread & Butter Project here in Sydney - where Anthony Albanese & Andrew Giles MP joined the refugee bakers to lend a hand. Apparently the croissants were great too… #RefugeeDay #WithRefugees

Protecting people who flee danger, or protecting ourselves against people fleeing danger? International human rights and refugee law (and common sense too) is clear. There really is only one right answer. #RefugeeDay #WithRefugees

Thank you Australia Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade 🇦🇺 for this welcome help. Every cent will count. Humanitarian aid for the Horn of Africa region is critically needed.

‘Otto had been attempting from 1938 to migrate to the US, but the lack of an asylum policy, and the lengthy process to acquire a visa meant the paperwork couldn’t be completed…’ 3 years after WW2 the right to asylum became Article 14 of the UDHR. bbc.com/culture/articl…

Sport has the power to change the lives of refugees. And to promote a message of inclusion and compliance with international law. It’s a message the world needs to hear, with so many pulling back from important benchmarks and conventions. Opposing conflict, promoting climate
