QUESTION OF: Rights of Refugees

Recognizing that the rights of refugees are unprotected in various member states of the UN
(i.e recognized countries that have been officially recognized), causing a serious humanitarian
crisis, where human rights have been denied and unprotected from these countries.

urges them to create policies to work towards maintaining humanitarian, socially acceptable
