When the EU was established it was still part of the UN and still is. What it fairly did was set out the number of refugees to be accepted by the size of a country's population. Something the UN had done prior to the EU forming.
Since the EU was formed and set out what was deemed by the UN as acceptable rules over asylum and refugees, the UN has taken a back step.

Once we leave the EU the United Nations High Commissioner will ensure that, under UN law Britain will still take its share. That maybe more than the EU quota or may be less but I suspect it will be about the same.

So you can blame the EU all you like but the bottom line is, if we remain in the UN we don't get a choice.
