Agenda: Refugees’ access to jobs and financial services

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees,

Guided by the Purposes and Principles of the Charter of the United Nations,and recalling its
previous resolutions and statements addressing acts of piracy,also reaffirming its commitment to
sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity while also recalling the importance of the
principles of good-neighborliness, and regional cooperation,

Recalling that a refugee is a person who is owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for
reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion,
is outside the country of their nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to
avail themself of the protection of that country,

Deeply troubled by the startlingly high number of internally displaced people worldwide, who
are receiving insufficient rehabilitation and job opportunities for self-improvement due to a
variety of factors, including armed conflict, persecution, violence, and other causes, including
terrorism, as well as natural and man-made disasters, and aware of the significant difficulties this
is posing for host communities, local and national authorities, and the international community,

Recalling the necessity of helping the vast number of individuals who are internally displaced
and the possibility that they may seek work and financial assistance as refugees or migrants in
other nations,

Recognising that internally displaced people should be shielded from arbitrary displacement and
have the same rights and freedoms under domestic and international law as other citizens of their
country, including the freedom of movement and residence, in full equality and without
discrimination,

Stressing the importance of considering practical ways to guarantee that there are enough
employment possibilities and financial assistance available for internally displaced people in this
