and courageous people;
Whereas UNHCR continues to fulfill its mandate, as adopted
by the United Nations General Assembly on December
14, 1950, to provide international protection to refugees
and persons seeking asylum and to seek durable solutions
to their problems;

of refugees to countries or territories where their lives or
freedom would be threatened;
Whereas the United States and its citizens have long wel-
comed refugees to our shores;
Whereas, although UNHCR’s responsibilities under its origi-
nal mandate do not include internally displaced persons,

it plays a critical role in assisting and protecting inter-
nally displaced populations in many situations, particu-
larly where refugee and internally displaced populations

ing durable solutions for refugees, including voluntary re-

and the elderly, face special protection and assistance
needs and UNHCR must continue to emphasize their

policies on which the international community can agree
to move forward on peacefully resolving refugee situa-
