Antonio Guterres Quotes and wishes: «Quotes from the U.N. and other Officials»
Refugee problemsThere are many challenges facing the international community today but few, in my mind, are more pressing than those of finding humanitarian solutions to refugee problems. We talk of regional conflicts, of economic and social crises, of political instability, of abuses of human rights, of racism, religious intolerance, inequalities between rich and poor, hunger, over-population, under-development and. I could go on and on. Each and every one of these impediments to humanity’s pursuit of well-being are also among the root causes of refugee problems.
(UN High Commissioner for Refugees, 1978-1985)

Mike Turner Quotes and wishes: «Quotes from the U.N. and other Officials»
This is more than poverty...in the midst of migrants in search of a better life there are people in need of protection: refugees and asylum-seekers, women and children victims of trafficking...Many move simply to avoid dying of hunger. When leaving is not an option but a necessity, this is more than poverty.
Antonio Guterres Quotes and wishes: «Quotes from the U.N. and other Officials»
Two basic prerequisites for solutionRefugee problems may often seem intractable but they are not insoluble. In our experience there are two basic prerequisites for solution: the political will of leaders to tackle the causes and to settle for peace, and international determination to push for peace and then to consolidate it. Consolidating peace means helping societies emerging from war to reintegrate refugees in safety and dignity, to rebuild their institutions - including in the field of justice and human rights - and to resume their economic development.
(UN High Commissioner for Refugees, 1990-2000)
