Statement by Carlos Lopes UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the Sixty-fifth session of the Executive Committee of the High Commissioner's Programme. Mr. Lopes highlited on his remarks that, in 2013 the number of people of concern to UNHCR has capped 51 million, of which about a third are Africans. Despite progress in many indicators, including on governance, as it will be confirmed in today's release of the annual installment of the Mo Ibrahim Index, forced displacements is an area were the continent is disappointing. The international architecture resulting from the post 2nd World War, with the establishment of the United Nations at its center, is based on the principles of the sovereign State, the so-called Westphalian State. The Westphalian system that was previously regional in scope and civilizational in identity, slowly evolved into a universal framework. Globalization has contributed for a few to amass wealth equivalent to hundreds of million people. The financial crisis of 2008-2009 is still externalizing its impact to the most marginalized and vulnerable.
