GHANA PLEDGE FORM The Government of the Republic of Ghana pledges its continued support to UNHCR as well as its readiness to work in accordance with the Ministerial Communiqué adopted at the UNHCR Intergovernmental event at the ministerial level held in Geneva on 7-8 December 2011. GREECE PLEDGE FORM It has generally been acknowledged that Greece faces a particularly strong mixed migratory pressure, due to its geographic position at the external border of the EU, its extensive land and sea borders and its proximity with main countries of origin and transit of irregular migrants and asylum-seekers. Despite this overwhelming situation, Greece considers the effective management of migration as a matter of highest priority and, in this respect, reaffirms its commitment to international cooperation for the protection of refugees. International and regional cooperation, solidarity and burden sharing are the only way to tackle effectively all consequences caused by increased migration and refugee movements due to recent humanitarian crises in different areas of the world.
