GENEVA (Reuters) – The United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said on Friday he would step
down at the end of this year and not seek a renewal of his mandate.
Guterres goes as Europe struggles with its biggest
refugee crisis since World War Two, as some of the 4 million Syrians who
have fled war seek safety in the West, adding to numbers of people
escaping violence and hardship in Africa and Asia.
Guterres declined to confirm or deny rumours that he
might seek to replace U.N. Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon who will step
down next year.
