In our discussions on Lebanon, Sudan, the Rohingya and Canada’s generous resettlement efforts, we emphasized the need for global unity in supporting refugees. Thank you, Prime Minister of Canada , for Canada’s leadership in providing safety and dignity to those forced to flee. 🇨🇦

While in Ottawa yesterday, our UN Refugee Chief took time for an in depth conversation with Matt Galloway, at CBC’s The Current. From the need for UN reform, to Lebanon and Sudan and Gaza, from situations out of headlines to immigration to Canada. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the…

Congratulations to President-Elect Donald J. Trump. US leadership is crucial for the protection of people forced to flee war, violence and persecution and to find solutions to refugee crises. UNHCR is committed to working constructively with the new administration and Congress.

A constant source of inspiration to make the world better, he is never forgotten in good times or bad. Happy birthday, dad. ❤️ Son souvenir m’inspire de lutter pour un monde meilleur, dans la joie et malgré les épreuves. Bonne fête, papa. ❤️

Lamentamos el trágico naufragio de una embarcacion en las costas de Panamá, donde viajaban 21 personas de 🇻🇪🇨🇴🇵🇦. Abogamos por soluciones seguras y sostenibles para quienes se ven obligados a salir de sus países de origen.

Thanks to the support of Japan 🇯🇵, ACNUR México will continue promoting the socioeconomic integration of refugees and asylum seekers in Mexico, enabling thousands to access formal employment and contribute to their local economies. UNHCR Government Partners

Desde ACNUR, la Agencia de la ONU para los Refugiados damos la bienvenida a Roberto Benes, director de UNICEF Latin America. Un grato encuentro que nos permite reafirmar el compromiso de apoyar a la niñez refugiada y desplazada en América Latina y el Caribe, fortaleciendo su protección y bienestar en comunidades de acogida.

Many innocent lives were lost in another Russian attack in Ukraine. Many were injured, including children and pregnant women. Violating the rules of war has become normal in today’s conflicts. No wonder so many people have no choice but to flee and become refugees or displaced.

Should IOM & UNHCR be merged? Don't their activities & interests increasingly overlap? Would a merged agency really lose UNHCR's protection impact? Wouldn't major savings come from having fewer meetings, staff, offices, vehicles, senior management salaries & travel costs?

Mujeres, niños, y los más vulnerables pagan el precio de los cortes de financiamiento. En Colombia, avances importantes están en riesgo sin el apoyo continuo de donantes.

“Preventing and stopping war – upholding peace and security – this is the Security Council’s mandate. This is your primary responsibility. And one that this body has chronically failed to live up to.” My statement of today to the United Nations Security Council 👇🏻 unhcr.org/news/speeches-…

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.

Together with my colleagues at UNHCR, I congratulate Mark Carney on his electoral success — under his leadership we look forward to strengthening even further our partnership with Canada, a country which remains committed to multilateralism, human rights and humanitarian values.

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

With solidarity and support from Governments and host communities - like this example from Brazil 🇧🇷 welcoming Afghan families - we are finding solutions for people to be safe, rebuild their lives, and contribute to the communities that welcome them. 🎉🎉🎉

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.

I told Member States today that we will do our best to maintain support to refugees and host countries amidst harsh funding cuts. But doing "more with less" is impossible. We are forced to do less with less. My message to governments: now is the time for renewed commitment.

From the Americas, we thank the #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 EU International Partnerships 🇪🇺 and #INTPA funding to UNHCR México🇲🇽. Our collaboration allows us to give refugees like Claudia the tools to access formal employment and actively contribute to the local economy. #EUChangesLivesWithUNHCR

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-…

This #CanadaDay, we thank the IRCC for standing with refugees. Through our partnership we are working to build stronger asylum systems and safer futures across Latin America.
