Guterres said that we Today we honor millions of refugees who were forced to flee wars, persecution and disasters, indicating that each of them carries a bitter story with losses – “The story of a family that was taken from its roots and a future turned upside down. Many of them face closed doors and escalating waves from the hatred of foreigners.”

From Sudan to Ukraine, and from Haiti to Myanmar, the Secretary -General says that the numbers of people who flee to survive their lives have reached unprecedented levels, at a time when support diminishes, and the greatest burden on this falls on the responsibility of host societies, which are often in developing countries. This is no justice and no sustainability, according to the Secretary -General.

The Secretary -General concluded his message by saying: “If we never choose to be refugees, then we choose how to deal with asylum. Let us be solidarity.
