U.S. Department of State: World Population Day July 11, 2015
In a statement to mark World Population Day, with the theme of “vulnerable populations in emergencies,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says, “…It is a reminder that in a fragile world, where war and persecution are displacing record numbers of people, those with the least power need the most protection. And so we must strengthen our partnerships to prevent conflict, shield the innocent, care for refugees, and confront such common threats as climate change, violent extremism, bigotry, and discrimination…” (7/10).
