Centrum Stosunków Międzynarodowych - 19 September 2016: UN General Assembly, Summit for Refugees and Migrants

Among other topics on the agenda of the 71st regular session of the United Nation General Assembly is the Summit for Refugees and Migrants, which is set to take place on September 19. President Barack Obama plans to use his last UN appearance to delve into the Syrian Refugee Crisis. Some are critical of the fact that not only is this the first ever summit held on the refugee crisis but that the issue has surfaced in the General Assembly after a considerable amount of time. In any case, the member states are expected to address the large influx of migrants and to coordinate a safe and humanitarian solution. The cooperation made by the UN General Assembly should bring about a global approach to addresses the crisis.
