Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
The General Assembly,
Having considered the report of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees on the activities of his Office 1 and the report of the Executive Committee

work of its seventieth session 2 and the decisions contained therein,
Recalling its previous annual resolutions on the work of the Office of the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees since its establishment by the General
Assembly,
Expressing deep concern that the number of people who are forcibly displaced
owing to, inter alia, conflict, persecution and violence, including terror ism, has
reached the highest level since the Second World War,
Noting with grave concern that, despite the tremendous generosity of host
countries and donors, including unprecedented levels of humanitarian funding, the
gap between needs and humanitarian funding continues to grow,
Recognizing that forced displacement has, inter alia, humanitarian and
development implications,
Expressing its appreciation for the leadership shown by the High Commissioner,
and commending the staff of his Office and its partners for the competent, courageous
and dedicated manner in which they discharge their responsibilities,
