Global: Guterres calls for joint effort to fight intolerance, preserve asylum

UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres called on the international community to join forces to fight intolerance, preserve the institution of asylum and bridge the gap between humanitarian relief and long-term development so that millions of uprooted people can rebuild their lives without fear of renewed conflict and displacement. Guterres said combating intolerance is perhaps the most difficult challenge faced today by UNHCR and its partners.
