The Quaker United Nations Office (QUNO) has launched a new briefing paper for Friends: Protecting refugees and migrants under the New York Declaration: challenges and opportunities at the UN level.
On 19 September 2016 the UN set a new agenda under the ‘New York Declaration’ for responding to large movements of people crossing borders.
The briefing aims to inform Friends about the Declaration and the developments it initiates for improving global governance on refugees and migrants. It also describes how QUNO is engaging in these opportunities, as well as ways that Quakers in Britain and around the world can link up with, and benefit from, UN-level initiatives.
