1. “In conclusion, we recognize that we are facing the greatest refugee crisis in history and that it represents an enormous challenge for the United Nations and its partners, as well as for the host communities. We also believe that the human dignity of refugees must be kept at the centre of all our actions. We reiterate that, in any context, the relocation or return of refugees should be in safe and dignified conditions and voluntary on the basis of information about the conditions that await them.”

2. “But she is 1 out of 155,000 from the same area who now depend on the charity of friends and relatives and who lack hope for a better future. In view of that deterioration, it is crucial that we seek solutions to the crisis. We understand that it is important to strengthen and promote a complementary approach between humanitarian action and development initiatives in order to address the root causes of conflict, to ensure sustainable solutions for refugees once they return to their places of origin and to create the conditions to increase the resilience of affected communities. We cannot fail to mention the situation affecting the millions of Venezuelans who have had to leave their country in search of food, medicine and better living conditions. For them, abandoning their home has not been an option. It has been a necessity.”

3. “We cite the case of Daw Phyu, mother of four children, widow, who left Myanmar in June 2012, leaving behind her daughter who lives with a disability. She met her a month afterwards and, using sign language, told her that she was sad. After six years, Phyu Ma was still living in a one-bedroom hut, waiting for a safe opportunity to return home. In Somalia, the case is no different. After two decades of conflict and countless natural disasters, more than 3 million Somalis are refugees or internally displaced and nearly 2.5 million do not have their basic food needs met. That is the reality of Hadija, a 22-year- old girl, who had to leave her village, along with her two children, after she lost her livestock to drought, and is waiting in a refugee camp to return to her normal life.”

4. “Food insecurity has motivated 4 million people to leave their homes in search of safe haven. Their situation is aggravated by the effects of climate change, such as drought and floods, which have led to massive shortages of safe drinking water. Such is the case of Angelina, who has left her village several times. Angelina swam through deep waters with her son floating on a plastic raft to shelter, where she depends on humanitarian assistance to survive. She would be happy if she could provide for her children, even if that means planting and producing her own food. In Myanmar, the situation is no less pressing. The massive wave of Rohingyas that crossed the border into Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh brings together more than 1 million people who depend on humanitarian aid to cover their basic needs.”

5. “Today, there is a plethora of images of displaced persons, of human suffering, of broken dreams, of mothers praying to return home, of fathers longing to work again and of children dreaming of having a childhood. Such is the case of Joury, a 12-year-old Syrian refugee who lives in a refugee camp in Jordan and draws pictures of gardens because that is what she remembers from her homeland, believing she will never be able to return there. Similarly, in Afghanistan, it is estimated that more than 1,000 people, mostly women and children, are displaced every day. That was the case of Shakila, who is a refugee in Greece, having left Afghanistan with her husband and three children looking for a better life, which she is still not sure she will find. In Southern Sudan, the situation is critical.”

6. “Mr. Trullols Yabra (Dominican Republic) (spoke in Spanish): We thank High Commissioner Grandi for his briefing today. The Dominican Republic welcomes the convening of today's meeting and joins the collective aspiration to address and attend to the needs of the millions of people who are forced to leave their homes as a result of armed conflict, violence, human rights Violations and persecution. We are particularly interested in the search for mechanisms to tackle the serious problems and challenges arising from these human displacements, as well as in the communities that host the displaced. We believe that, in this search, it is necessary to support and involve displaced persons in order to respond to their specific needs.”
