U.N. Warns States against 'Backtracking' on Migrant Commitments after Paris Attack

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The United Nations on Tuesday called on states not to "backtrack" on pledges made to host migrants and refugees, including from Syria, in the wake of the attacks in Paris. 

"We are concerned about the reactions from some states to end programs being put in place, backtracking from commitments made to manage the refugee crisis," said U.N. refugee agency spokeswoman Melissa Fleming.

"Refugees should not be turned into scapegoats and must not become the secondary victims of these most tragic events," Fleming added, after some EU states indicated they would take a hardline on the migrant crisis following the attacks.
