This World Refugee Day, solidarity is the only solution: Next month will mark the 74th anniversary of the adoption of the 1951 Refugee Convention, a monumental act of international solidarity initiated by 145 States, which established the rights of refugees and the responsibility of countries to protect them. World Refugee Day is the annual commemoration of this fundamental moment, an occasion for people around the world to honour refugees, to celebrate their strength and to recognize the remarkable contributions they make to the communities that welcome them, when their rights are upheld, and their voices are heard. We have seen over the decades that the responsibilities set out in the Refugee Convention cannot be met by any one actor alone. The only way we can ensure the rights of forcibly displaced people and build the sort of world we all want to live in is through whole-of-society responses. This is a core principle of the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR). This World Refugee Day, we encourage all of you to recommit to your extraordinary displays of solidarity, to continue implementing your pledges and sharing stories of your progress.
