Minor miracle or historic failure? Assessing the UN’s refugee #summit

Those of us who work in the humanitarian sector tend to be a pessimistic group of people. Whenever a new emergency breaks out and large numbers of people are obliged to abandon their homes, we can be guaranteed to describe it as an “unprecedented crisis.” We constantly draw attention to the fact that there is a growing gap between the needs of people affected by disasters and the resources available to assist them. And we are equally keen to point out that human rights violations are on the rise, with states and other actors demonstrating a diminishing level of respect for international law and humanitarian principles.
