In September 2016, the UN General Assembly convened to discuss the international community’s effectiveness in responding to mass migrations – forced and voluntary. This was a significant meeting with two outcomes: the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, which set out principles that would guide the global response to refugee displacements and large movements of migrants, and the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF), which was to guide the operationalisation of those principles in relation to refugees.
