STATEMENT: WRMC Calls for Action in Ukraine

Russian violations of international humanitarian law and human rights in Ukraine are causing the worst refugee crisis in modern European history. 

The WRMC has issued a call for action in Ukraine for the international community to:

  • Adhere to humanitarian principles

  • Deploy UN Peacekeepers to safeguard humanitarian corridors

  • Repurpose frozen assets to help Ukrainians through a global trust fund

  • Support responsibility sharing principles of the UN Refugee Compact

  • Hold a global conference & action plan on food and health safety
