UN WORLD REFUGEE DAY AND INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS

Early day motion 266, tabled 18 June 2013 by Penny Mordaunt (Conservative). Signed by 19 members.

That this House notes that 20 June 2013 has been designated by the United Nations (UN) as World Refugee Day; further notes that according to official UN figures there are consistently over 10 million more internally displaced persons than refugees; and therefore calls on the UN to rename 20 June 2013 as International Day of Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons.
