The U.N. refugee chief sharply criticized the Security Council and world leaders Thursday for failing to prevent and resolve conflicts that have displaced nearly 66 million people around the world. He stressed that a full response to this huge displacement "can only be achieved through action to restore security, resolve conflict and build peace." All three conflicts are on the Security Council agenda along with many others in the Mideast and Africa. He lamented that only a half million refugees worldwide returned home last year and stressed that "sustainable peace is critical to securing solutions to displacement."
