the freedoms of association and travel within and beyond their countries of
temporary residence.
9. Freedom For All supports and demands the universal application of the 1951 Convention on Human Rights, insisting on the need to reunite and regroup refugees, as well as the need to preserve the civilian and humanitarian character of refugee camps and their attendant facilities as enunciated in 1987 by the UNHCR’s Executive Committee. Freedom For All also supports the 2002 Notice of Protection issued by the United Nations’ High Commission for Refugees, which urges states to respect the principle of freely approved return of refugees to their homes
