REFUGEES from seven countries have come together to recreate the iconic image of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention’s signing, 70 years after it was enacted.
The convention, adopted on July 28 1951, formalised the rights of refugees under international law and has since been signed by 149 countries.
The recreation of the original black-and-white image, replacing diplomats with refugees, was organised by the Together for Refugees coalition with the aim of pressuring the British government to continue upholding its obligations to protect asylum-seekers.
The picture includes refugees from different conflicts over the last 70 years, including those fleeing ethnic cleansing in the Balkans in the 1990s, South African apartheid and Syria’s ongoing war.
