4. IF INVOLUNTARY REPATRIATION IS EVENTUALLY THE ONLY WAY WE CAN EMPTY THE VBP CAMPS AND CENTRES IN HONG KONG (AND ELSEWHERE IN THE REGION) WE SHALL ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE TO LOOK TO ORGANISATIONS OTHER THAN UNHCR. THIS IS COVERED IN CPA BY REFERENCE TO ICM IN PARA 6(B). IN THE INTERIM, UNHCR WOULD MAINTAIN, AS HKG/UNHCR STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING MAKES CLEAR, ITS HUMANITARIAN AND PROTECTION FUNCTIONS FOR VBPS IN HONG KONG.
