UNHCR Chief Warns Forced Displacement Threatens Global Peace and Security

UNHCR High Commissioner Barham Salih told the UN Security Council that forced displacement is a challenge to international peace and security, framing it as a security issue rather than purely humanitarian. The statement signals a potential shift in UNHCR advocacy toward security-focused responses, though no specific policy changes were announced. This matters as it may influence Security Council action on displacement crises.
