That, while technical assistance may make an important contribution to the solution of the economic problems of the underdeveloped countries, the development of all existing or potential possibilities of immigration into these countries also constitutes an important factor for the solution of these problems;
That the present volume of migration is insufficient to meet the needs of emigration countries or to allow full use of the possibilities offered by immigration countries;
That there is need for the pursuit by the appropriate international agencies of all migration activities falling within their respective fields;
That the provision of facilities for the transport of migrants who could not otherwise be moved without such facilities can make an important contribution to increased migration;
That, although the movement of migrants should as far as possible be effected by the normal commercial shipping and air transport services, co-ordination in this field is necessary in order to enable the movement of the largest possible number of migrants by those services, and further- more to ensure that the IRO's present shipping facilities are applied to the extent necessary to secure an additional movement of migrants;
That steps should be taken to provide transport facilities for such refugees as may desire and have the opportunity to emigrate from overpopulated countries; and
That, consequently, provisional intergovernmental ar- rangements between the democratic governments which adopt or may hereafter adopt this resolution are necessary in order to move persons who are attached to the principles to which these governments subscribe and who desire to emigrate to overseas countries where their services can be utilized in conformity with generally accepted international standards of employment and living conditions, with full respect for human rights; and
Agree:
1. To constitute a "Provisional Intergovernmental Com- mittee for the Movement of Migrants from Europe";
