The United Nations refugee chief said global displacement poses a challenge to international peace and security, urging political solutions as more than 117 million people remain forced from their homes, according to Anadolu Agency, which named the official as Barham Salih.
The report did not specify the setting in which the remarks were made, such as a UN session or press briefing, nor did it detail the specific political solutions being urged.
Record levels of displacement
Anadolu Agency's report did not break down the 117 million figure by region or by category, such as refugees, internally displaced people, or asylum seekers, nor did it compare the figure with previous years' totals.
It also did not include specific policy recommendations attributed to Salih beyond the general call for political solutions, or detail what role the UN refugee agency plans to play in addressing the crisis.
Global displacement figures have risen in recent years amid multiple ongoing conflicts and humanitarian crises, with UN officials repeatedly calling attention to the scale of forced migration as a pressing international concern.
Further details on the specific drivers of displacement referenced and proposed international responses were not included in the available report.
