LOCAL INTEGRATION
WE HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT WE CONSIDER LOCAL INTEGRATION
WITHIN SOUTH EAST ASIA TO BE PREFERABLE TO RESETTLEMENT IN
WESTERN INDUSTRIAL SED COUNTRIES AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO PRESS
THAT THIS SHOULD BE ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM OF THE
UNRESETTLED RESIDUE IN HONG KONG AND ELSEWHERE. THE PROBLEM IS
THAT THE FIRST ASYLUM COUNTRIES SUCH AS THAILAND FEEL JUSTIFABLY
THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY BORNE THEIR SHARE OF THE BURDEN. You
WILL BE AWARE THAT THAILAND HAS UST RECEIVED A FURTHER WAVE OF
CAMBODIAN REFUGEES AS A RESULT OF WETNAMESE ATTACKS. IN AUGUST
THE THAI AUTHORITIES RULED OUT FURTHER LOCAL INTEGRATION IN
THAILAND EVEN FOR THOSE IN THAI CAMPS, CONCLUDING THAT THERE
WAS NO OTHER OPTION FOR REFUGEES IN THAILAND THAN RESETTLEMENT
IN THIRD COUNTRIES OR REPATRIATION TO THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.
