#Refugees are better placed to design solutions & inform decision-making based on their needs & experiences. Read our joint statement from the 4th quarterly informal briefing on the #RefugeeCompact, drafted by #MeaningfulRefugeeParticipation signatories.
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.

on responses to Syrian and Ukrainian crises
Welcoming communities are vital to refugees.
In the Bay Area I met families rebuilding their lives and resettlement agencies helping them, including in the @CityofSanJose (2nd US city supporting the Global Compact on Refugees).

The #RefugeeForum is an important opportunity to take stock of progress & sustain momentum towards reaching the objectives of the #RefugeeCompact.
We 🇪🇺 are committed to contribute to better burden & responsibility sharing for the world’s refugees in the spirit of the Compact.
Two years ago, world leaders and change-makers came together for the first Global #RefugeeForum and made 1,400 pledges in solidarity with refugees.
📢 Today the international community gathers at the High-Level Official's meeting to reflect on progress #chartingthefuture
🇸🇪 will continue to implement the #RefugeeCompact through
✅ Working for an expanded and strategic global resettlement response
✅ Championing unearmarked and multiyear humanitarian funding

At the 2019 Global Refugee Forum, actors made over 1500 pledges, only 65 of which focussed on refugee participation. As we look forward to this year’s upcoming HLOM, forced migration is becoming more common, & existing solutions are failing. How can we move forward together?
