Motion text

That this House recognises on the occasion of Refugee Week, that more than 67 million people worldwide are in a situation of forced displacement as a result of conflict and persecution; notes with concern that the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is the sole body with a global mandate to co-ordinate protection, shelter and assistance for the world's displaced, but remains almost entirely funded by voluntary contributions; expresses dismay that over five million of the world's refugees have been living in exile for more than five years; and calls on the Government and the wider international community to find durable solutions for all long-term refugees.
