The Russian invasion of Ukraine has produced a refugee crisis. Another one, that is. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees reports over 80 million people have been displaced globally, including over 26 million who are refugees. According to the U.N. agency, “Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Sudan and Myanmar account for two-thirds of people displaced across borders.”
The war in Ukraine has produced millions of additional refugees. Many are being welcomed around the world, as they should be. But as news media and states treat the Ukrainian crisis differently than others, a question lingers: Who gets to be a migrant – and where?
On this episode of Open to Debate, David Moscrop talks with Ketty Nivyabandi, Secretary-General of Amnesty International Canada.
