We hope that the world community now has at least a breathing

space while it sets about the urgent task of clearing the refugee

camps in South East Asia and so giving new lives to the boat

people and land refugees. This is the first priority as

Dr Waldheim repeated in his summing-up. The world community is

clearly ready to grasp its responsibilities for bringing order into

the human misery which marks the refugee situation in South East

Asia. The world now looks to Vietnam to show the same responsibility

as

a member of the community of nations.
