New York, NY, June 16, 2016 — "People in need around the world have lost a tireless, effective and redoubtable champion today following the murder of Jo Cox MP. Her passionate advocacy, first of all working in NGOs and then in Parliament as an elected representative, on behalf of vulnerable and displaced people was a study in effective activism. Her vision and ideals, for a world built on respect and compassion, are needed more than ever. The staff and Directors of the International Rescue Committee mourn the loss of a dedicated humanitarian, and send deepest and most sincere condolences to her family."
