An unidentified speaker said that meeting young refugees at Kakuma left them humbled and underscored the need for durable solutions.

The speaker said that 'When you meet these young people, I am humbled by the resilience and by the commitment that they have' and that visiting Kakuma 'shows the scale of the problem', arguing that Kenya 'stands out as a model for protection in this troubled region.'

The remarks repeatedly returned to the challenges of long-term displacement. The speaker said the community faces 'the biggest problem of protracted displacement' and noted that people are 'stuck in camps for years.' Those comments framed the speaker's broader appeal: strengthening pathways out of camps and supporting refugee self-reliance.

The speaker invoked UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) and summarized its responsibilities: 'Our mandate as UNHCR is to provide protection, provide life-saving and humanitarian assistance to people in need, but it is also, as the convention says, durable solutions.' The speaker did not name the specific convention referenced in the transcript.

The speaker closed by stressing that refugees 'have an agency of their own' and that their dignity and human rights require international support to help develop self-reliance.

No formal motions or votes were recorded in the provided transcript of these remarks.
