Making UNGA more effective can’t be divorced from UNSC reforms: India
Making the General Assembly more effective cannot be divorced from the wider context of the reform of the UN, including the Security Council, according to India.
Devastating conflicts, violence and persecution in places like Syria and South Sudan left a record 65.6 million people uprooted from their homes by the end of 2016, the UN said on Monday.
"At the end of 2016, there were 65.6 million people forcibly displaced worldwide," the UN refugee agency said in a statement, stressing that this was a "new unprecedented high."
