Refugee Convention at 75: A promise to protect

On the 75th anniversary of the 1951 Refugee Convention, former Syrian refugee and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Yusra Mardini urges the world to uphold its promise of protection. With over 120 million people displaced, she argues that the convention offers hope and a chance to rebuild, not just survival. Her own journey from fleeing Syria to competing in the Olympics underscores the power of asylum.
