  2. “I thank Mr. Grandi for the clarification he has provided. There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. Before adjourning the meeting, as this is the last scheduled meeting of the Council for the month of October, on behalf of the delegation of Brazil, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to the members of the Council and to the Secretariat for all the support they have provided to us. Indeed, it has been a busy month, and one in which we rallied to consensus on several important issues within our purview. We could not have done it alone or without the hard work, support and positive contributions of every delegation and the representatives of the Secretariat, including the technical support team, conference service officers, interpreters, verbatim reporters and security staff.”

  3. “Brazil commends the hard work of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and encourages the active engagement of the international community at the highest possible level, civil society and academia at the second Global Refugee Forum in the light of the necessity to alleviate the suffering of those in most need. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to Mr. Grandi to respond to comments.”

  4. “The second Global Refugee Forum, to be held in Geneva next December, will hopefully raise awareness and encourage ambitious commitments commensurate with the challenge presented by the record levels of displacement we are witnessing. The Global Refugee Forum will be an opportunity to access the situation of displacement worldwide and the most immediate and dramatic situation in Gaza. It will also be an opportunity for the world leadership to reiterate the need to revoke measures related to any forced movement of civilian population or individual civilians that are not fully consistent with international law, including international humanitarian law and human rights law.”

  5. “That policy provides regular and safe access to our territory. We have set up Operation Welcome to receive and integrate Venezuelans who have arrived in our territory through the northern border since 2017. Many of them have already returned, but those who decide to stay in Brazil have full access to all public services, including education, health care and social benefits, on an equal footing with our nationals. Under the interiorization strategy of the operation, around 115,000 people have had the opportunity to opt for relocation to almost 1,000 different cities in Brazil. The Global Compact for Refugees testifies to the fact that there is no sustainable solution for refugees without international cooperation. It provides an inclusive and manifold framework for our collective action.”

  6. “Those include, inter alia, the prohibition of collective expulsions, the principle of equality and non-discrimination, the principle of non-refoulement, the right to seek asylum, the right to life, the prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment, the promotion of gender equality, and the rights and best interests of the child. Brazil’s refugee protection system is based on respect for human dignity and the primacy of human rights. In the spirit of the 1984 Cartagena Declaration on Refugees, we adopted legislation that applies an extended refugee definition in relation to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and allows broad and generous protection for asylum seekers. Brazil has been granting humanitarian visas to people affected by the crises in Afghanistan, Syria, Haiti and Ukraine.”

  7. “Their efforts must be met with sustained and predictable support from the international community, based on shared responsibilities and due consideration for the fundamental role played by host countries. Forcibly displaced people should not be treated as a threat to international peace and security. Rather, they are the ones paying a high price for geopolitical rivalries and the inability of the international community, especially the Security Council, to ensure peace. States must ensure that border governance measures are in accordance with international humanitarian law, international refugee law and human rights law.”

  8. “The causes vary from persecution, conflict, violence and human rights violations to events seriously disturbing public order. As we meet today to discuss displaced people, we cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that, according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, 1.4 million Gazans had to flee their homes owing to the ongoing conflict since 7 October. Also, according to the United Nations, almost 700,000 people are in 150 facilities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, more than 200,000 in hospitals, schools, churches and other public buildings. Low- and middle-income countries have generously kept their borders open and host around 90 per cent of displaced people.”

  9. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Brazil. I thank United Nations High Commissioner Filippo Grandi for his presentation. Brazil was pleased to host this annual briefing under its presidency. It provides an opportunity to receive updated information on the situation of displaced people around the various regions of the world. It also allows us to reflect on the drivers of displacement, among which conflict plays a tragic prominent role. According to the latest Global Trends report, 108.4 million people worldwide were displaced by the end of 2022. The figure likely exceeded 114 million at the end of September and will likely continue to grow as the conflict in Gaza unfolds. Displaced people have had their lives ruptured.”

  11. “In accordance with rule 39 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite Mr. Filippo Grandi, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, to participate in this meeting.
