Refugee day in Libya remembered in the absence of UNHCR

World Refugee Day 2010

"This year's World Refugee Day on June 20 has as its theme, "Home," in recognition of the plight of more than 40 million uprooted people around the world. Around 10 million of them are refugees of special concern to UNHCR.

At UNHCR we help people find new homes and new futures through resettlement, through voluntary repatriation and through local integration. Most of the time, and where it's possible, refugees prefer to return to their home countries. Nonetheless, and with conflict continuing or escalating in many countries, finding new homes and allowing people to restart their lives is increasingly difficult.

This year, for World Refugee Day, we are planning events around the world to highlight the plight of refugees under our care and to advocate on their behalf for the help they need. We will be asking you to think about what it means to be one of those millions of individual human beings. And we will ask you to contribute in whatever way you can to helping them rebuild their lives".

This is the word of UNHCR to the refugee day, June 20. The day is remembered all over the world for the sake of refugees, all in the presence of UNHCR. In Libya refugees this year are remembering this day in the absence of UN Refugee Agency, and they do not know their fate... Yet long live UNHCR, for its global work to help refugees get their future who already loss their homes!!!
