En ce jour de #WorldRefugeeDay #JournéeDuRéfugié il est essentiel de rappeler que personne n'affronte la mort sur la route de l’exil par simple plaisir et à quel point il est essentiel que les États se rappellent tant de la Convention de Genève que de son esprit.
Non, ces hommes, femmes et enfants ne risquent pas leur vie des dizaines de fois, ne laissent pas derrière eux tout ce qu’ils ont connu par volonté. Il n’y a pas de choix lorsque votre vie ou votre intégrité physique est en jeu et que la seule possibilité est de fuir.
A l’heure où la xénophobie ne cesse de se répandre, tout comme les allocutions démontrant l’ignorance de leurs auteurs quant à la réalité de l’asile, il est essentiel de se rappeler de ce qu'est le monde et de la violence qui sévit à des milliers de kilomètres de chez nous.
Why doesn't@MichelleDewbs ask #OpenBorders #WelcomeRefugees activists:
How many refugees can Germany take in
And STILL have a lower population density then England
Which is where they come to
Or even the whole UK

I had a Zoom call this morning with my colleagues at @uOttawa who are engaged in Canada’s evacuation of #Afghanistan and resettlement of Afghan #refugees. Spoilers: Canadian policy looks better on paper than it does in practice. A 🧵: 1/18
First, the commitment to resettling 20,000 #Afghan #refugees: it looks nice! But that number is NOT a commitment to evacuating 20,000 Afghan human rights defenders, feminists, and scholars who are directly threatened by the Taliban. 2/18
Almost all of those 20K will be people who meet the legal definition 'refugee', which requires that they be outside their country of citizenship & have a credible fear of persecution. See the @UNHCR definition: unhcr.org/what-is-a-refu… 3/18
