EUMS to Demonstrate Leadership at the Global Refugee Forum 2019

An estimated 1.4 million refugees around the world are in need of resettlement, but in 2018 just 55,680 resettlement places were made available. Inaction is not an option.

One year after the adoption of the Global Compact on Refugees, the international community will gather in Geneva at the first Global Refugee Forum on 17-18 December 2019. On behalf of the SHARE Network, ICMC Europe joins European NGOs and civil society networks calling on the EU and its Member States to pledge 30,000 EU resettlement palces for 2020, and commit to continuous and significant increases in anual European resettlement thereafter.
