#EU should raise yearly refugee resettlement quota to 40,000. Safe+organized pathways much needed for vulnerable refugees. pic.twitter.com/yc11yiBipp

I condemn the barbarity of human traffickers, off the coast of Yemen and elsewhere. We need safe, legal routes for migrants and refugees.

Asylum claims in Mexico are up. By a lot - 311% in 2014-2016. Why? Violence in Central America and improving support in Mexico pic.twitter.com/VmiHMKr8Ew

Too many countries failing refugees. Refugee protection will collapse unless we step up support to remaining host countries like Uganda.
