INTERNATIONAL OBSERVANCES AND SPECIAL EVENTS

WORLD REFUGEE DAY (20 June)

20 June is celebrated as World Refugee Day. The UN General Assembly, on 4
December 2000, adopted resolution 55/76 where it noted that 2001 marked the 50th
anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, and that
the Organization of African Unity (OAU) had agreed to have International Refugee
Day coincide with Africa Refugee Day on 20 June.  

World Refugee Day provides a prime opportunity to reflect on all those forced to
flee and intensify our support.

WORLD HUMANITARIAN DAY (19 August)

World Humanitarian Day (19 August) is an occasion for the UN family and the
world come together to recognize aid workers who have lost their lives in the
line of duty and to celebrate the passion of humanitarian work. The 2013
commemoration marked the 10th anniversary of the deadly attack on the UN offices
in Baghdad.
