Amnesty International and Governments

: Based on a scale of 0 to 100, Globe Scan, the consulting firm commissioned for the study, came up with the Refugees Welcome Index based on responses to standard questions to measure participants' attitudes toward refugees, according to Metro News. China topped the ranking with a score of 85, followed by Germany , the U.K. and Canada , with Australia rounding off the top five. The survey by Amnesty International found that 80 per cent of 27,000 respondents would welcome refugees with open arms and take them into their own homes. These figures speak for themselves. Governments must heed these results, which clearly show the vast majority of people ready and willing to make refugees welcome in their country. People are ready to make refugees welcome, but governments' inhumane responses to the refugee crisis are badly out of touch with the views of their own citizens, Amnesty International Secretary General Salil Shetty said in a statement.
