"Refugees are suffering a lack of protection because of 'asylum fatigue', says the United Nations. UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres warns that public confusion over asylum has led to growing intolerance and racism. Launching a major survey of crises, Mr Guterres said global numbers of refugees had fallen to a 25-year-low. But he said public confusion meant people who needed help were seen as a public threat. And he warned against any moves to ditch the international principle of protecting people fleeing persecution."
