In 2016, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) hosted a Summit for Refugees and Migrants in New York City: 193 member states met there to address the recent mass movements of refugees and migrants. The summit was about refugees, but on the panels, in the plenary and at press conferences, refugees were noticeably absent. Refugees were not given the opportunity and the support to take part in the discussions for various reasons: No one refugee can represent the multiplicity of refugee experiences, and many feared that refugee representatives would openly criticise UNHCR practices. Since then, something has changed: Especially in the context of the adoption of the Global Refugee Compact 2018, a norm for refugee participation is emerging. It aims to improve international cooperation on refugee issues.
