Notes
According to the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today we have 60 million people being displaced due to wars, breakdowns in governance, economic despair and other factors such as environmental and man-made disasters. This is the biggest displacement of people since World War II. See UN News Centre (2015).
