United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ (UNHCR) Chief Filippo Grandi spoke to the media on World Refugee Day, June 20, to “honor the resilience and courage of more than 65 million people…forced to flee war, persecution and violence.”His speech also praised the communities around the world hosting refugees and called on global civil society to further support policies that accept refugees openly.“So on World Refugee Day, when we pause to contemplate the fate of the millions of people who cannot return to their homes tonight because of war or persecution – it’s also a moment to ask ourselves what each of us can do to overcome indifference or fear and embrace the idea of inclusion, to welcome refugees to our own communities, and to counter narratives that would seek to exclude and marginalize refugees and other uprooted people,” he said.The video was released as part of a larger campaign around the release of the UNHCR’s Global Trends Report 2016 and World Refugee Day.
