UN Criticises EU's Refugee Debate

The UNHCR (UN High Commissioner for Refugees) is concerned that the current debate in Europe is getting considerably overheated ... If this results in rushed policy and lawmaking, it could have very dangerous results for future refugees, either in terms of getting access to Europe or in terms of getting a fair hearing and decent treatment over here.
Rupert Colville
UNHCR Geneva headquarter's representative. The quote is derived from a BBC article, where Colville elaborates on the organisation's critical position toward EU's refugee debate.
