World Refugee Day - June 20!
In 2001 a special UN General Assembly Resolution was adopted to declare the former African Refugee Day as the International Refugee Day as an expression of solidarity with Africa, which hosts the most refugees. The General Assembly noted that 2001 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, and that the Organization of African Unity (OAU) had agreed to have the International Refugee Day coincide with African Refugee Day on 20 June.
In Iceland, World Refugee Day will be accknowledged at Austurvelli between 14-18 on June 20, 2007. Participants will be the Red Cross, the UNHCR and the Icelandic Human Rights Centre. All are welcome to the Red Cross tent at Austurvelli!
