ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Guests:
Nancy Izzo-Jackson, Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Populations, Refugees, and Migration, U.S. Department of State
Asia Ayaki Ito, Deputy Director of Asia Bureau, The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)
Boris Michel, Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
Our episode featuring UNHCR, ICRC, and the U.S. Department of State focuses on how Geneva is leading efforts to support refugees in crisis around the world.
Our guests talk about the growing challenges for those working to meet the needs of people flee conflict and persecution, the rate of which has surpassed World War Two levels. They shared examples of successes driven by a transformation shift in how we perceive the rights and agency of refugees to assimilate and create new lives. Lastly, we discussed efforts to ensure that no child is born stateless and the rules around how one becomes legally a citizen of a nation.
The Geneva Geeks team couldn’t stop thinking about our collective responsibility to do on to others as we would want done to ourselves; and how Geneva is the hub for putting that value into action.
