This is what a number of people have

As you know, the problem is not so much

for the High Commissioner to visit all camps or only one camp. What is important is what we do permanently every day and you know that our delegate here in Hong Kong for years have been now visiting all camps and do so permanently, so that whether I visit this camp or that camp doesn't make too much of a difference. Certainly I would have liked myself to visit more but time constraints and the forthcoming executive committee of UNHCR force me to restrict myself to this short

visit or not to come at all.

QUESTION:

Your predecessor had some harsh words

to say about closed camps, Mr Hartley. Do you feel that they are a

humane way to keep refugees?
