Accepted
We agree the UK government should ensure it fulfils its commitments under the GCR and we are doing so. UNHCR have a comprehensive GCR indicator framework which allows the international community to benchmark how far it has come since the GCR was introduced in 2018. We publish publicly available data and respond to data surveys through Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) which enables UNHCR to monitor how the international community, including the UK, is fulfilling its commitments under the GCR.
