3. WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND DARUSMAN'S ARGUMENT (REFTEL PARA 2) ABOUT CONTACTS WITH UNHCR, ALL ASEAN COUNTRIES, LIKE HONG KONG, HAVE UNHCR REPRESENTATIVES, SINCE THE SPC IS TO BE RUN SY UNHCR IT SEEMS INEVITABLE THAT UNHCR OFFICIALS WILL NEED PRIOR ACCESS TO REFUGEES WHO ARE SUBSEQUENTLY TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE SPC. THE LOGISTIC PROBLEMS OF TRANSFER FROM HONG KONG ARE PROBABLY SIMPLER THAN FROM E.G. CAMPS IN NORTHERN THAILAND.
