If resources become scarce, people tend to fight for them. This is increasing the number of people on the move and the number of people forced to move. They're not refugees, according to the legal definition, but they represent a major humanitarian and human rights challenge, as well as a major challenge for world politics.

Antonio Guterres

I am so impressed by UNHCR staff who live and work side by side with the refugees. It's really remarkable.

Alek Wek

I believe we should utilise any power we have for important issues that are bigger and beyond us. Whether it's with refugees or working to educate kids. I don't think you need to have gone through a civil war to do something. I believe as human beings, we can look out for each other.

Alek Wek

I feel, in 2015, when we see human beings and children dying to cross the ocean, trying to find safety, something more must be done to help them because refugees are just like me and you.

Alek Wek

My commitment to refugees comes from a very personal place.

Alek Wek

Sharon Shinn's Samaria is a world populated by refugees from a ravaged Earth, also many, many years in the future.

Alethea Kontis

With every generation comes a new wave of hopefuls: small-town escapees, European refugees, disaffected Londoners.

Amanda Foreman

I was born in a tiny little enclave of terrified Jewish refugees, less than half a million of them, with no clear perspective of a future - hopes, yes, but no clear perspective.

Amos Oz

Americans are accustomed to welcoming, or at least receiving, refugees from other countries, not creating our own.

Andrei Codrescu

I don't believe that the fight for trans rights or African American rights is different from the fight against war, or the fight for refugees.

Andreja Pejic

The Conservative party under my leadership will continue to be an inclusive, welcoming party that welcomes not only immigrants but also refugees and ensures that Canada plays its role in welcoming people from difficult situations.

Andrew Scheer

As a global society, we have the technology, resources and the know-how to make a massive difference to living standards everywhere, including for refugees.

Antonio Guterres

Antonio Guterres

Connecting small and medium-sized businesses to international markets can create work for host country nationals alongside refugees, building economic growth and resilience in host communities.

Arancha Gonzalez

Trump's executive order on refugees, his endless petty feuds - with allies, with judges, with Arnold Schwarzenegger - his constant stream of up-is-down and down-is-up fabrications is outrageous.

Arianna Huffington

As governor, my chief responsibility is to keep our state and people safe, which is why I have decided to oppose Arkansas being used as a relocation center for Syrian refugees.

Asa Hutchinson

Like all Americans, Arkansans hurt for the Syrian refugees. The hardships they face are beyond most of our understanding, and my thoughts and prayers are with them, but I will not support a policy that poses real risk to Americans.

Asa Hutchinson

When there is a Palestinian state, it will absorb hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria and Lebanon, because these states will simply expel all of these refugees.

Avigdor Lieberman

I play for the America that embraces refugees from war-torn nations, for the America that welcomes all people who want the chance to experience the American Dream, for the America that appreciates the contributions from all the people it shelters.

Becky Sauerbrunn

Most of the approaches to peace between Israel and the Palestinians, have been directed at trying to resolve the most complex problems, like refugees and Jerusalem, which is akin to building the pyramid from the top down.

Benjamin Netanyahu

I wouldn't know the political solution to ending the conflict in those countries that refugees escape from. The only thing I know for sure, however, is that we need to help these people.
