U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi also characterized new U.S. restrictions on asylum as a possible violation of international humanitarian law.
People displaced from Sudan's Jazira state arrive in packed vehicles to the entrance of the eastern city of Gedaref on June 10, 2024, amid the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces . A record 120 million people worldwide have been forcibly displaced as of May, the United Nations’ refugee agency said Thursday, with 8.8 million more people displaced by the end of 2023 compared to the year before in a 12-year increasing trend.
The growing problem of displacement comes amid numerous global conflicts and a rising political backlash to migration in much of the West. Though Grandi described the Biden administration’s goals to resettle 125,000 refugees within the United States as a “shining example of U.S. generosity,” he also characterized new restrictions on asylum put in place by the United States as a possible violation of international humanitarian law.
