Two high-level meetings on refugees will be held this month in New York: the United Nations Summit for Refugees and Migrants, 19 September, and the Leaders’ Summit on Refugees, 20 September. The agenda for the UN Summit has now been posted and is available via the link above. For those who wish to follow the proceedings, the event will be broadcast live via the UN's Web TV.
