UNHCR is firmly committed to achieving United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which has two core principles:
- Leaving no one behind: This principle emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the benefits of sustainable development are shared by all people, regardless of their social, economic, or geographic circumstances. This includes addressing the needs of marginalized and vulnerable groups, such as women, children, persons with disabilities, and refugees.
- Human rights for all: This principle recognizes that the promotion and protection of human rights are essential for sustainable development. This includes ensuring access to justice, combating discrimination and inequality, and promoting inclusive societies that are built on the principles of human rights and the rule of law.
