"In relation to Syria, there have been some commendable efforts by member States in providing asylum or humanitarian protection for Syrian asylum seekers and also admitting Syrian refugees under resettlement, humanitarian admission and other programmes. 17 member States have participated in the UNHCR’s call for the admission of 30 000 Syrian refugees in 2014.
