UN Secretary General’s Message

As divisions deepen across our world, new and protracted conflicts are compelling millions of women, children and men to seek safety far from home.
​
These turbulent times must be a moment for renewed solidarity and robust action to protect people displaced by conflict or persecution. That includes upholding the Refugee Convention, which has saved millions of lives since its adoption 75 years ago in the aftermath of the Second World War.
​
On World Refugee Day, we call for stronger support for all those forced to flee, as well as the countries and communities hosting them. By upholding international refugee law. Safeguarding the right to seek asylum. Forging solutions that enable refugees to live in safety and dignity, with real opportunities for self-reliance. And redoubling efforts towards peace.
​
Let us be inspired by the generosity of communities in developing countries, which host nearly three-quarters of the world’s refugees.
​
Together, we can protect the rights of all people forced to flee, now and for generations to come.

Nations Around the World must
not forget that:
Whoever. Whenever. Wherever.
Everyone has the right to seek safety.
World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the
United Nations to honour refugees around the globe. It
falls each year on June 20 and celebrates the
strength and courage of people who have
been forced to flee their home country to
escape conflict or persecution.
World Refugee Day is an occasion to build
empathy and understanding for their plight and
to recognize their resilience in rebuilding their lives.
