聯合國難民署非常歡迎聯合國安全理事會推舉聯合國難民署前任高級專員安東尼奧古特雷斯為下一任聯合國秘書長。
「古特雷斯先生在聯合國難民署任職十年間,處理了多次最大規模的難民危機,」聯合國難民事務高級專員菲利普格蘭迪表示:「我們知道他會以他的遠見、政治技能和對人道主義事業的深刻理解領導聯合國,進一步推動世界和平。」
安東尼奧古特雷斯曾領導聯合國難民署積極應對全球因衝突和迫害而導致激增的流離失所人群,並對聯合國難民署進行改革,加強其運作效率。
「不過最重要的是,安東尼奧古特雷斯先生是一位為難民、境內流離失所者和無國籍人士孜孜不倦的倡導者,是一位無論在基層領域還是最高政治級別領域都積極維護這些脆弱人群利益的人。他特別強調要採用創新的解決方案來幫助這些人以實現安全和有尊嚴的生活,並推動導致無數人背井離鄉的衝突儘早結束。」格蘭迪說。
「作為聯合國難民署,我們非常高興看到世界上最高級別的維和人員,將由一位深刻理解戰爭可怕後果的人士擔任。」
