World Refugee Day
The motion
That the Parliament acknowledges that 20 June 2020 is World Refugee Day; understands that, every minute, 20 people leave their lives and belongings behind to escape war, persecution or terror; recognises refugees as being among the most vulnerable people on the planet; further recognises that the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees help protect them; considers what it regards as disgraceful recent events in Glasgow caused by a very small minority; stands resolutely with refugees and welcomes asylum seekers to Scotland, and believes that all asylum seekers and refugees must be treated with dignity and that their human rights must be respected.
