Note on International Protection: Report of the High Commissioner

The note is broadly organized around the comprehensive refugee response framework and key elements of the proposed global compact on refugees, recalling the centrality of protection and reflecting relevant developments from a protection and solutions perspective. Furthermore, it examines the state of internal displacement worldwide, in the twentieth anniversary year of the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, as well as the situation of stateless persons.
