Just a reminder that Sunday 20 June is World Refugee Day and that UNHCR and its partners around the globe will be marking it in a variety of special events focusing on this year's theme 'A place to call home'. The High Commissioner will be in Barcelona this weekend where he will be joined by UNHCR's goodwill ambassador Angelina Jolie for the central event of World Refugee Day.
