GENEVA — The United Nations sought Monday to debunk what it called "worrying misperceptions" about movements of displaced people saying that developing countries hosted 80 percent of the world's refugees.

The total number of refugees, asylum seekers and displaced persons, had not ceased to grow with the figure reaching nearly 44 million people in 2010, the UNHCR said in a report.

"In today's world, there are worrying misperceptions about refugee movements and the international protection paradigm," said Antonio Guterres, UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

"Fears about supposed floods of refugees in industralised countries are being vastly overblown or mistakenly conflated with issues of migration.

"Meanwhile it is poorer countries that are left having to pick up the burden."
