Angelina Jolie: World Refugee Day Commemoration

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie joins the commemoration of World Refugee Day at the National Geographic Society on Thursday (June 18) in Washington, D.C.

According to UNHCR, this year’s theme for World Refugee Day on June 20 is “Real People, Real Needs.” Of the millions of people forcibly displaced by conflict, persecution and natural disasters, every one has a story to tell; they are real people, just like you and me, and they have real needs. But, despite the best efforts of UNHCR and many others, many of these basic needs are far from being met.

Find out how you can help at UNHCR.org. 10+ pics inside…

Angie is a trooper @ 06/18/2009 at 3:00 pm

Thanks Jared.
Sometimes I feel really bad that she has to put up with all that hatred.
So unfair. So unjust. She is a strong woman, and I have great respect for her for all that she does for the refugees.

I think this is such an admirable cause that Angelina Jolie is standing up for. I can’t imagine the horrid conditions these people are condemned to live in and yet this woman has been in the middle of it to understand it.. She has seen it all in person and thats incredible to me. Obviously Angelina Jolie is so much more than just a movie star. Her passion makes her beautiful inside and out. People who are against her are just jealous that they do not have that kind of passion that real living brings.

Thanks JJ for all the updates! Will be watching the interview tonight on cnn.

just sayin @ 06/18/2009 at 3:02 pm

@the real lou: that’s what I always say. The difference is they don’t hate those women like they hate Angelina so they don’t call them out on their wrinkles or aging. Jennifer Garner is another one that doesn’t get the crap . she’s only 1 or 2 years older than Jolie but in close ups you can see the wrinkles setting in. Brad Pitt too. there’s lots of times where he looks a good ten years older than his age but he’ll never get the hatefulness that Angelina Jolie gets. Period. Angelina fans just have to roll with the punches Angelina has to take for “stealing” Brad Pitt.

Not impressed by JA @ 06/18/2009 at 3:02 pm

Brenda @ 06/18/2009 at 2:53 pm I appreciate that Angelina Jolie wants everyone to focus their attention on the worlds refuges, but, there are so many underprivileged children in America that are in need of attention as well. I really appreciate the work that Ashley Judd does as an ambassador of Children with Aids. She seldomly uses this as a PR opportunity for herself.
———————————-
And she is stupid not to. If she had put more light io it, she would have drain more money for the research and God knows that aids kills everyday everywhere.
.
Instead of whining, you shouid do your part and help the million + of HIV positive in the US alone (figures from the last conference i attend 3 years ago). Instead of complaining about PR bla, bla, you should run and spread the good news everywhere about Ashley Judd helping America. This way you will participate in the spreading of more awarness that the USA is counting more HIV poitive people than any other democracy.
-
All the PR speculation doesn’t stand in a matter of death and life. I thought that doing goods- was the aim by any mean necessary. So quit your PC and go spread the news about Ashley helping pmerica. You will help a beautiful cause in lieu of wasting air to speculate if a celebrity does it for her and not for the cause. Go help your country NOW !

thanks jared.

please let’s not quibble. why is it necessary.

if only i could look half as good as she does. vanity is not beautiful, and neither is jealousy. be happy she’s doing what she is. good for her, even if she doesn’t need my respect or admiration to be the person that she is.

Love her! She is an incredibly amazing person. There’s so much more to her than just her outrageous beauty. Thanks for posting the pics, Jared!

Gee, I bet most of us wish we would look this great as we age! She looks her age, dresses age appropriately, and is beautiful inside and out unlike many of the idiots out there now.

she looks so tired… I think she is not happy with BP… she deserves a better men

lostchick @ 06/18/2009 at 2:31 pm

Has this chick been to college? Why is she consided to be a brain?

**************************

Because she is.

There are a lot of people who went to college and study politics and never saw a war-torn country. They study only in theory. Angelina saw before her very eyes the result of the miscalculations of these college grads political strategists. She learns politics on the field.

College is not the only place to learn. Joschka Fischer, was a famous foreign minister of Germany. He didn’t even finish “Gymnasium - a german high school leading to university entrance” let alone have a university degree. He learned politics through protest on the streets and demos; he helped found the Green political party. Yet, as his term as foreign minister ended, he was offered to teach “International Relations” in Princeton.

Angelina knows more about world affairs than some top politicians who haven’t been beyond the US borders.

Brenda @ 06/18/2009 at 2:53 pm

but the children in america are still far more fortunate than the refugee in other poor countries. i know because I was a refugee. you have know idea what they go through everyday just to survive.

Jolie is a rare natural beauty, and uses her brain and popularity to better the world which sets her apart from most of Hollywood.

alexanderina @ 06/18/2009 at 3:11 pm

WTG Angie. She is truly amazing and I am so proud of her.
Thanks Jared

yeah yeah what’s new? this is such a boring news. next please…

She is really cute.. I love Angie…

Angelina is an ambassador for the UN High Commission on Refugees. Her interested started when she was filming in Cambodia 8 years ago.
This is her cause. There are very few refugees in the US compared with the rest of the world because of our immigration laws and restrictions.\

Just because a person is a US citizen doesn’t mean they should narrow their focus and efforts to only US children. Some folks want to be WORLD citizens instead of just citizens of their own little corner.

If someone like Angelina and the other UNHCR ambassadors (which currently includes Armani and others from other countries)don’t speak up, then who will? YOU? I don’t think so. Poverty and hunger and homelessness are global issues that need to be addressed by all not just US addressing US poverty.

anne marie @ 06/18/2009 at 3:12 pm

It’s a shame she is really starting to show her age. I’m sorry not “her” age which is 34 but is beginning to look like she is in her early 40’s. That’s too bad.

joy @ 06/18/2009 at 3:06 pm

if angie believes she deserve a better, she wouldn’t have hook up with him in the 1st place and probably didn’t want the relationship last this long. just because you don’t believe she is happy doesn’t angie is not. i am sure she adores brad and vice versa.

Beautiful and gorgeous as always.Truly amazing!!!

sschahok @ 06/18/2009 at 2:58 pm

i know when. you get lost 1st and maybe angie will follow. so, can you please get lost. stay away from this thread.

This is the same idiot posting under 3 different names.Who do you think you are fooling?

alexanderina @ 06/18/2009 at 3:18 pm

Angie is out there doing her thing and might I say doing a great job and the only thing the trolls can say is that she is looking old. Angie looks beautiful and 100x times better than any of you haters on here or else where. Give it up bi*ches and get a freaking life and leave this woman alone

F u g F a c e M a n ! s t o n @ 06/18/2009 at 3:18 pm

this bishes phony act is sickening.

hey hey no slamming the pitt. he is the man…or dustin hoffman or geroge clooney (such a man sloon), but take it easy on the guy. he can’t help looking good. oh sh*t i totally forgot depp (but he looks like a pirate all the time so i don’t buy it. i wish he’d just be clean shaven all the time), anways back to the topic. she’s 34 and a mother and she works and she’s still awesome and looks awesome…if i really wanted to i could talk about her looking tired, or her veins etc…but what she’s doing is good so no negativity please. oh and they must have some hot sex. gah. being a hater is not good karma.
