Feature story
The campaign will begin on 20 June, World Refugee Day, and run until the Global Refugee Forum in 2027.
Rooted in the values and principles of the 1951 Refugee Convention, the campaign underscores that international protection frameworks exist not only for refugees, but for you, me, all of us.
The toolkit includes print and digital assets, a press kit, a history of 75 years of the Refugee Convention including photos from each decade, and more.
Throughout 2026, the 75th anniversary of the 1951 Refugee Convention will be marked by a series of national, regional, and global dialogues designed not as a commemorative exercise alone, but as a practical process to renew commitment to refugee protection and solutions in today’s context. These dialogues will bring together states, refugees and stateless people, local authorities, civil society, governments, UN partners, development actors, private sector, and other stakeholders to reflect on how the international protection system can respond more effectively to rising displacement, pressure on asylum systems, shrinking protection space, and increasingly complex movements.
The dialogue process will culminate in the High Commissioner’s Dialogue on Protection in early
December 2026, which will bring together key themes, priorities, and emerging recommendations from across the year. These outcomes will inform the new Agenda for the Future of Protection and Solutions, to be published in early 2027, aiming to help shape renewed action on protection and solutions. In turn, this process is intended to help build momentum towards the Global Refugee Forum at the end of 2027, ensuring that the anniversary year contributes to a broader, sustained agenda for implementation, responsibility-sharing, and tangible progress for refugees, stateless people, and host communities.
The “Until Everyone is Safe” campaign will reaffirm protection for refugees.
The WCC and the UN Refugee Agency signed a memorandum of understanding in the beginning of June to strengthen the collaboration between the two organizations, and to reaffirm their shared commitment to raising global, regional, and national awareness of forced displacement and statelessness.
