The 67th session of UNHCR's Executive Committee ended on 7 October 2016. Here is the High Commissioner's closing statement and a draft report of the session. Note that Conclusions on International Protection were adopted once again, after a two-year absence. One is on "international cooperation from a protection and solutions perspective" and the other is on "youth." Documents and statements can be accessed on the "2016 Executive Committee session" page. See also the NGO statements that were delivered at EXCOM on ICVA's web site.
