Upholding Not Undermining International Law: Civil Society Open Letter to States (December 2025, reissued) - Human Rights First In advance of Human Rights Day on December 10, the Global Refugee Forum Progress Review in mid-December 2025, and the 75th Anniversary of the Refuge Convention in 2026, over 300 faith-based, non-gover...

As we celebrate #HumanRightsDay and look ahead to the 75th anniversary of the #RefugeeConvention, 300+ groups worldwide are calling on States to uphold human rights, refugee, and humanitarian treaties. Read the letter👇

Daniel Ghezelbash: The Refugee Convention is under threat, but it is not the problem We are at a crossroads for refugee protection. Around the world, displacement has reached record highs, with more than 122 million people forced from their homes, including over 31 million refugees.

Conflicts raging in so many parts of the world. Some receive coverage; many neglected; all are utterly tragic. From the Gaza and Ukraine, Sudan and Myanmar, and Venezuela, the scale of displacement is staggering. #auspol #refugeeconvention

Happy VE DAY. Remembering those who died so we could be free. Remembering the awful human impact of evil dictatorships. Remembering our EU allies. Remembering those displaced by war -then and now #refugeeconvention #veday

Protections afforded to refugees benefit us all Disregard for the rights of asylum seekers is the canary in the coal mine for international law

"My fear is that affording protections and safety to refugees is, tragically, becoming as unpopular today as offering protection to many of Europe's Jews was in 1938"

Refugees who made “dangerous journeys” could be blocked from UK citizenship - Migrants' Rights Network The good character requirement has been updated on 10th February 2025 to block some refugees from naturalising as British citizens.

It is important to note that despite the guidance referring to ‘illegal’ entry, there is an international right under the #RefugeeConvention to enter another country, regardless of whether that route is criminalised, to seek #asylum...

UK to reject 'dangerous journey' refugees citizenship The Home Office change has been condemned by the Refugee Council and some Labour backbench MPs.

Breaking: The @hrw.org 2025 World Report calls out Australia’s “diabolical” treatment of #asylum seekers & treatment of #Children in the youth justice system & calls for the prompt introduction of a federal #AusHumanRightsAct

Australia violated rights of asylum seekers held in Nauru, UN watchdog says UN Human Rights Committee ruling covers cases involving 25 refugees who endured years of arbitrary detention.

A timely reminder:

“A state party cannot escape its human rights responsibility when outsourcing asylum processing to another state,” committee member Mahjoub El Haiba said in a statement on Friday following Thursday’s ruling.

"It's great to know the the British public wants to help and has been encouraged to do it but it's not the only thing to do. The #UKGovernment should do more above all for children. They should offer #Visa #freeentry with international protection under the #RefugeeConvention"
