The statement makes reference to the December 2012 UN High Commissioner Dialogue on “Faith and Protection”, the “Welcoming the Stranger: Affirmations for Faith Leaders” document, as well as statelessness among the refugee populations.

The role of faith in the humanitarian sector is not easy to measure. Faiths generally advocate welcoming the stranger and there are many organisations and individuals inspired by their faith or religion to provide protection and assistance.

HIV can spread quickly in conditions of poverty, powerlessness and social instability, conditions that are often at their most extreme during emergencies.
