All the achievement in 2014 has been possible because of the dedication of our staff and partners. On 27 November 2014, the High Commissioner, Mr. Antonio Guterres,
humbled me by the Award of Excellence for Achievement as a Representative. On this occasion, while accepting this award, I dedicated it to the 400 committed UNHCR staff
working tirelessly in seven duty stations in Syria. Despite the scourge of war lingers, UNHCR staff will continue to perform, while earnestly hoping that the year 2015 will be a
better year for the people in this beautiful country
