UN demands Western countries accept 2.4 million more refugees
The United Nation's new global report leans heavily on the same “responsibility-sharing” framework Canada helped design when it co-authored the 2018 Global Compact on Migration.
The United Nations is once again pressuring Western countries to expand refugee intake quotas, warning that 2.4 million people will need permanent resettlement by 2027, a push that leans heavily on the same “responsibility-sharing” framework Canada helped design when it co-authored the 2018 Global Compact on Migration.
In a new global report released Tuesday, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) issued an urgent appeal for member states to ramp up refugee resettlement programs.
According to the agency’s Projected Global Resettlement Needs assessment, an estimated 2.4 million refugees worldwide will require permanent resettlement by 2027.
