Discussion | World Refugee Day


In 2001, the U.N. General Assembly designated June 20 as World Refugee Day. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's message on that day in 2010 urged the world to "...reaffirm the solidarity and burden-sharing by the international community." He added that, "Refugees have been deprived of their homes but they must not be deprived of their futures." A panel of representatives of national and international organizations involved in refugee resettlement will speak and answer questions like: What is a refugee? Where do they come from? Where do they go to, and for how long? What kinds of problems do they have? What kind of help is out there for them? and What do their futures hold? This program is being co-sponsored by the Ethnic Services Round Table of the New York Library Association.
