Outcomes of the High-Level Officials Meeting 2021

The first High-Level Officials Meeting (HLOM), mandated by the General Assembly through the Global Compact on Refugees affirmed in 2018, was held on 14 and 15 December 2021 as part of the process of building a long-term framework for engagement of States and other actors in refugee situations.

The HLOM was structured around three priorities: expanding support through responsibility sharing; advancing the implementation of pledges and initiatives; and identifying recommendations for the future. The preparatory process and the HLOM resulted in 20 key recommendations. These recommendations are further elaborated in the Outcomes of the High-Level Officials Meeting 2021 document and will serve as the basis for preparations, planning, and eventual commitments for the next GRF in 2023.
