A call made for “expanded channels of regular migration and resettlement” of migrants and refugees in places like Europe and beyond came from the U.N. human rights chief, going on to say that will prevent deaths and reduce human smuggling.
Speaking to the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Monday, Zeid Raad al-Hussein praised the “ordinary people” who have volunteered to help migrants and refugees in Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany and “even — despite long-standing xenophobia of tabloids and some politicians — in the United Kingdom.”
