The head of the U.N. refugee agency has expressed understanding towards the Biden administration's new restrictions on asylum-seekers entering the United States. However, he cautioned that certain aspects of the executive order may violate refugee protection required by international law.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees made these remarks as the agency released its annual 'Global Trends' report for 2023, revealing a rise in forced displacement to 120 million individuals, an increase of 6 million from the previous year.
