Pope Francis called for better
treatment for refugees during his weekly general audience on
Wednesday before the UN's World Refugee Day on Thursday.
"We are all called to welcome, promote, accompany and integrate
those who knock on our doors," the Pope said.
"I pray that States will strive to ensure humane conditions for
refugees and to facilitate integration processes."
He said the World Day should be "an opportunity to turn an
attentive and fraternal gaze to all those who are forced to flee
their homes in search of peace and security."
