The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has said that refugee rights are part of human rights and that the rights of every person, including displaced people, must be protected.<\/p>\n
The agency wrote on its X page on Friday, September 4, that no one chooses to become a refugee, but people can choose empathy and solidarity. It once again stressed the need to protect rights that, it said, belong to all human beings.<\/p>\n
The statement comes as many refugees, including Afghan nationals, face difficulties such as forced deportation. The situation has heightened concerns over their safety, dignity and access to basic rights.<\/p>\n
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees had previously said that six million people have returned to Afghanistan in less than three years. According to the agency, the return of Afghan nationals on such a scale has been unprecedented in modern history.<\/p>\n
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees is the main UN body responsible for addressing the situation of refugees and displaced people around the world, and it has repeatedly warned about growing pressure on Afghan nationals in host countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
