“War, armed conflict, and human rights concerns in a number
of countries – notably the Syrian Arab Republic and Ukraine – are among the
principal reasons for the upsurge in the number of asylum seekers in
industrialized countries…”
– The United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees 2014 Asylum Trends Report
Each year on June 20, nations across
the globe hold events and gatherings to mark World Refugee Day. What initially
had started as Africa Refugee Day was adopted by the United Nations General
Assembly on December 4, 2000, to be recognized internationally as World Refugee Day.
