20th June
International Refugee Day

In 2001 a special UN General Assembly Resolution was adopted to declare the former African Refugee Day as the International Refugee Day as an expression of solidarity with Africa, which hosts the most refugees. The General Assembly noted that 2001 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, and that the Organization of African Unity (OAU) had agreed to have the International Refugee Day coincide with African Refugee Day on 20 June.
UNITED coordinates an annual campaign around this date. This campaign aims to highlight the issues of refugees from a non-governmental perspective on all levels - local, national and European. We call upon all organisations to take part in the campaign. Your group can highlight a case of one particular refugee, send protest letters to policy-makers or find other ways of voicing your opinion. Just contact UNITED - we can provide you with information, campaign material and logos.
