The United States and its partners around the world need to develop a new comprehensive plan to tackle the global refugee crisis, outgoing US Secretary of State John Kerry said during a conference at the US Institute for Peace on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Kerry noted that the international community needs to come up with what he called a micro-policy with respect to refugees.

"I believe we need urgently a new Marshall plan, which is focused on the most critical states in the world in certain locations, particularly Middle East, South Africa, South Central Asia," Kerry stated.
