Anne Marie Taylor writes:
Quote MessageAs an American who has lived in the UK since 1999, she has brought back the pride I once felt. The America I see on the news is not the one which I left. Treat others as you wish to be treated. This is simple. I hope ignorance does not prevail. The world needs more Angelina Jolie Pitts...
But Michele Heck is not convinced.
Quote MessageIt is easy for Angelina Jolie Pitt to take this position because no number of refugees will affect her wealth or the security of her family. That is not true of most of the people of the world.
Is the UN doing enough?published at 13:09 (12:09 Greenwich Mean Time)

Geoff Oborne writes:
Quote MessageSorry Angelina. But the root of all of this is war. Forgive me but wasn't the UN formed to deal with conflict? All I hear from you is that we world needs to help refugees. No the UN needs to get its act together to stop the conflicts so we don't have refugees in the first place. Stop the problem at the cause not deal with the symptoms.
Lyse Doucet says on Facebook:
Quote MessageYou're right Geoff and I think AJP would agree... must deal with root causes.. must deal with the wars..

Jolie: Solving crisis is something "we all must do"published at 12:58 (11:58 Greenwich Mean Time)
12:58 (11:58 GMT)"This is a time we can come out stronger and better - but it takes clarify and leadership," she says. Solving the refugee crisis is "something we all know we must do," Jolie insists.
Jolie: Merkel gesture was "beautiful"published at 12:56 (11:56 Greenwich Mean Time)
12:56 (11:56 GMT)Mishal Husain asks whether German Chancellor Angela Merkel's response to the crisis, where she said all Syrian refugees were welcome, was pragmatic or based on emotion.
Jolie says: "It was a beautiful, beautiful thing that said something to the world. But I do think we need to have a real order, and we need to be explaining how things are being done in a clear way."
It is also important that the process is clear so that people in the receiving country understand and have better confidence in the system, she says.
Frustratingly vague?published at 12:54 (11:54 Greenwich Mean Time)
12:54 (11:54 GMT)Here are some of the comments we’ve received on our Facebook page, external:
Hasnain Sayied: She is doing what good people dream of doing all their life… speaking truth, stand for those who need help, actually help, may God bless her and giver her long and healthy life.
Holly Marston: She has the right intention but is still frustratingly vague. Certain people and governments need to be named and made accountable and specific reforms that are needed to enable progress.
Genia Goncharenko: A reasonable and passionate speech of a beautiful and a decent woman, but the problem is that those who can change the situation are actually creating all those dreadful conditions.
Jolie asked: How can children support young refugees?published at 12:53 (11:53 Greenwich Mean Time)
12:53 (11:53 GMT)A 12-year-old has a question for Jolie: "Do you have any ideas about how we can support young people coming into our community?"
Jolie Pitt: "The best thing you can do, especially at your age - school's hard regardless, fitting in, isn't it? The best thing is to be a good friend, ask about their culture, where they came from. Help others around you - maybe you see some bullying, people not understanding or showing respect - but you can set an example and give them the welcome they deserve."
Jolie asked about child refugeespublished at 12:52 (11:52 Greenwich Mean Time)
12:52 (11:52 GMT)Yvette Cooper, a UK Labour MP, asks about protection for child refugees.
Jolie Pitt: "More than half of the refugees are women and children; half of these children are out of school."
Many children have faced abuse or trauma, she says, and we need to ensure they have enough support.
"We have to look at the ways they are being held" as well, she says.
Unaccompanied children are also a serious concern, and trying to keep families together or ensuring children are accompanied by an adult or a sibling, rather than being left open to trafficking, is important - she adds.
Jolie asked about Trumppublished at 12:48 (11:48 Greenwich Mean Time)
12:48 (11:48 GMT)Jolie is asked if she's disappointed by Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump's approach on refugees and Muslims.
"America is built on freedom of religion," she says, so "it's hard to hear that this is coming from someone who is pressing to be president".
Jolie: Disheartened by US responsepublished at 12:46 (11:46 Greenwich Mean Time)
12:46 (11:46 GMT)David Davis MP, a conservative UK member of Parliament, asks:
"You recognise the need to go to the source of the problem - after the second world war, the US went to the source of the problem with the Marshall plan. Is there a chance the US will go to the source of the problem again?"
Jolie: "All I can say is they absolutely should, and they'd better. They have to work with countries around the world, as before - that is what they must do. As an American I will be pressing my government about it - I have been very disheartened by my own country's response to this question."
Jolie: Must not make blanket distinctionspublished at 12:44 (11:44 Greenwich Mean Time)
12:44 (11:44 GMT)"When people are not in a country at war, but are being persecuted, or attacked because of their ethnicity, etc - these are reasons for people to be granted asylum."
Therefore, it is important not to make blanket distinctions, Angelina Jolie Pitt says.
Jolie: Refugees need to have prioritypublished at 12:43 (11:43 Greenwich Mean Time)
12:43 (11:43 GMT)Jolie Pitt is asked: Is the distinction between economic migrants and refugees unhelpful? How can you determine the difference in complex countries, such as Afghanistan?
She replies that the desire for a better life is admirable, and she might do the same thing in their situation. But refugees are "running for their lives - it's immediate and urgent".
Because of this, refugees "should be put forward first".
