A concrete, predictable and multi-year programme for resettlement of the residual Vietnamese refugee population in the countries of first refuge should be established as soon as possible. Priority should be accorded to the processing of long- stayer refugee cases. Provision should also be made for accelerated resettlement to cope with any unexpected upsurge in new arrivals.

Mechanisme should be developed to determine the clains of new arrivals to refugee status on a regional basis. Those determined not to be bona fide refugees should be repatriated to Vietnam in accordance with international law and established UNHCR procedures. UNHCR is urged to negotiate an arrangement with Vietnam to take back non-refugees. Those who are determined to be refugees should be promptly resettled in a third country.

A central regional UNHCR holding centre should be
established once a site is agreed upon.

The Orderly Departure Programme for Vietnamese should be expanded and be made to encorpass migrants, in addition to the present family reunion and special humanitarian concern cases. This should become the primary mode of departure and eventually the sole avenue for resettlement.
