We are now entering the Q&A section of the debate. 

Jolie Pitt says: "At UNHCR we always want to say we have enough and we're doing our best, but really we're been underfunded for far too long"

"The long-term answer involves founding our world on laws and accountability, however distant that ideal, and genuinely working towards the common interest.

And if we learn anything from the past, this is what should rally us together – not withdrawing, but deciding to come together and show leadership.

This is a duty that falls to all of us – to the next UN Secretary General, to all governments, to civil society – to every one of us.

Whether we succeed will help define this century."

"When a Security Council Member uses its veto when civilians are being killed by their own government, or we turn away too soon from a conflict situation, or a case is referred to the International Criminal Court and then we don’t give it sufficient support;

When we don’t help nations trade fairly in the world so they can stand on their own, or partially meet a UN aid appeal and think that we have achieved something;

In all these cases, the consequence is deeper conflict and wider instability, which leads to the type of mass displacement we are dealing with today."

Finally, none of this will be enough unless we address the underlying causes of the refugee crisis.

We need to recognise that decades of broken promises, double standards and partial justice are a fundamental part of how we got to today’s situation.

If we look back and see this many people displaced and this much conflict and so little accountability, then we have to question the source of the problem.

"Strength lies in being unafraid: in working with others, and living up to our highest ideals.

We must not change who we are because we face a crisis."

"It would be naive to think that we can protect ourselves selectively, alone, from challenges in a globalised world, by pulling away from other countries or peoples.

An unstable world is an unsafe world for all.

If your neighbour’s house is on fire you are not safe if you lock your doors.

Isolationism is not strength." 

"Nobody wants to be a refugee. Nobody deserves to be a refugee. And for as long as war is part of the human condition, none of us are immune to becoming refugees. So all refugees merit equal respect and compassion."

"We will fail the basic test of humanity if we discriminate between refugees on the basis of religion, race or ethnicity.

When I meet a refugee I do not see a Muslim refugee, or a Christian refugee, or a Yazidi. I see a mother or father, a son or daughter, a person with an equal right to stand in dignity on this planet."

"It is important to maintain the distinction between refugees and economic migrants. An economic migrant chooses to move in order to improve their lives or livelihoods. Refugees have to move if they are to save their lives or preserve their freedom.

However difficult the situations economic migrants are seeking to escape, however understandable their motivation, there is no blanket human right to resettle in another country, and there is no answer to global poverty and insecurity that involves the mass transfer of people."

"No one should be crossing a border, and not registering and going through an asylum process."

"Every country must do its fair share and no country can abdicate its responsibility."

"At its extremes, the debate about refugees in Western nations has been polarised – with, on the one hand, some people calling for open borders, and on the other, for the complete exclusion of all refugees, or – worse - certain groups of refugees.

But policies should not be driven by emotion: by what might be termed naïve humanitarianism, placing the perceived needs of refugees above all other considerations - or by irrational fear and unacceptable prejudice.

Instead we need to find a rational centre, rebuilding public confidence and ensuring democratic consent for the long-term approach that will be needed."

"I believe this is again that once-in-a-generation moment when nations have to pull together.

How we respond will determine whether we create a more stable world, or face decades of far greater instability."

"After so many years of failed attempts by governments and leaders to do the right thing we are angry, we feel cheated and we feel confused.

We are starting to think that maybe it is simply not possible to make a lasting difference.

But the worst possible choice we could now make is to decide to step back from the world."

"But since no country can seal itself off from the impact of the refugee crisis, such a free-for-all would lead to an even greater set of problems.

It would amount to the worst of both worlds: failing to tackle the issue and undermining international law and our values in the process."

"On the one hand, the refugee crisis has produced acts of great generosity and solidarity with refugees, here in Europe and in other parts of the world.

On the other hand, fear of uncontrolled migration has eroded public confidence in the ability of governments and international institutions to control the situation.

It has given space, and a false air of legitimacy, to those who promote a politics of fear and separation.

It has created the risk of a race to the bottom, with countries competing to be the toughest, in the hope of protecting themselves whatever the cost or challenge to their neighbors, and despite their international responsibilities."

"My argument is that unless we address the root causes of the crisis, we will not see a slowing in the numbers of refugees crossing borders, and in fact, quite the opposite: countries around the world will be asked to do more and more.

So what we must do first and foremost as citizens is to demand our governments show the leadership necessary to address the fundamental causes of the refugee crisis at a global level."

"The spotlight has been firmly on Europe.

But the crisis in Europe is only a fraction of the global refugee problem, and therefore the solutions being discussed for Europe are only a fraction of the overall answer.

We in the West are neither at the centre of the refugee crisis, nor – for the most part - the ones making the greatest sacrifice.

The majority of the world’s refugees live in countries such as Turkey, Pakistan, Lebanon, Iran, Ethiopia, and Jordan."

"Is it any surprise that some of these desperate people, who are running out of all options and who see no hope of returning home, would make a push for Europe as a last resort, even at the risk of death?

The question is, how will we respond, as democracies and as an international community, to this major test of our values and our resolve?"
