QUESTION:
WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE VIETNAMESE REQUEST FOR AID TO ARE THEY STILL HOLDING HELP THEM HANDLE THESE RETURNING NON-REFUGEES? OUT FOR MONEY, AND HAVE YOU MADE A DECISION ON HOW TO TREAT THAT?
THE
IS
ALISTAIR ASPREY: NO, THE AGREEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN REACHED WITH
NEGOTIATIONS, UNHCR, WHO HAVE BEEN KEPT FULLY INFORMED OF THESE THAT THE UNHCR WILL PROVIDE THE SAME ASSISTANCE FOR THOSE WHO RETURN WE UNDER THIS ORDERLY RETURN PROGRAMME AS THEY DO FOR THE VOLUNTEERS.
OF ARE NOT PAYING ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE, THAT HAS NOT BEEN A MATTER
THERE IS ALSO OF DISCUSSION IN OUR NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE VIETNAMESE.
TO COURSE THE EC PROGRAMME IN VIETNAM WHICH IS DIRECTLY RELATED NUMBER OF RETURNEES.
QUESTION:
THE
ΤΟ I WAS REFERRING ALSO THOUGH CAN I FOLLOW THAT UP?
CENTRES ΤΟ THE VIETNAMESE DEMAND FOR MONEY TO HELP BUILD RECEPTION
TO RETURNING HELP THEM REINTEGRATE THE RETURNEES, NOT THE PAYMENTS VIETNAMESE.
ASPREY:
WELL I MEANT TO COVER THAT.
ASSISTANCE THE UNHCR ALISTAIR
AND IT WITH REINTEGRATION COVERS BOTH PAYMENTS DIRECT TO RETURNEES COVERS
THE VIETNAMESE THE PAYMENTS TO
VIETNAMESE THEMSELVES, GOVERNMENT AND AUTHORITIES, TO ENABLE THEM TO IMPLEMENT REINTEGRATION, AND THOSE WILL APPLY TO THESE RETURNS IN THE SAME WAY AS THE VOLUNTARY . RETURNS.
QUESTION:
YOU MENTIONED THAT THIS MEMORANDUM IS IN PRINCIPLE
NOW IF YOU PAVE SOME WAY FOR THE SOLUTION TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS, THAT THERE WILL BE ANY PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE, THEN CAN YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEMS IN VIETNAM? FOR EXAMPLE, THE UNITED STATES MAY, IN INTERIM PERIOD, DISAGREE WITH THIS MEMORANDUM?
TO
SEE
ALL
THE
Ι
IT
THE FUTURE. FORECAST ASPREY: ALISTAIR
I HESITATE TO TRY TO
WILL DARESAY WE WILL GET A FEW PROBLEMS BUT I DON'T EXPECT THAT THEY
LET ME JUST CLARIFY WHAT I WAS IN ANY WAY UNDERMINE THIS AGREEMENT.
OF THE DOUBLE- INTENDING TO SAY. THE AGREEMENT COVERS THE RETURN BACKERS AND THE DETAILED ARRANGEMENTS FOR THAT WE HAVE ALREADY AGREED. TODAY ONWARDS IT ALSO COVERS THE RETURN OF ALL. PEOPLE ARRIVING FROM AND THE DETAILS OF THAT WE HAVE ALSO AGREED WITH THE VIETNAMESE. ALSO COVERS THE RETURN OF ALL THE EXISTING CAMP POPULATION, DETAILED ARRANGEMENTS FOR THAT BY WHICH I MEAN THE TIMING PHASING OF THE RETURN BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHOM VIETNAM WOULD NOT WISH TO RECEIVE BACK ALL IN ONE DAY
DISCUSSIONS WITH THOSE WILL STILL NEED TO BE THE SUBJECT OF FURTHER
THAT THE PRINCIPLE
ALL THE
CAMP EXISTING VIETNAMESE. POPULATION WHO ARE NON-REFUGEES MUST RETURN HAS BEEN AGREED, IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE FURTHER NEGOTIATED.
THE
QUESTION:
BUT
BUT THE AND THE
FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IF THERE IS SOME TECHNICAL PROBLEM? LIKE SOME VIOLENCE HAPPENING IN HONG KONG CAMPS AND THEN THIS REACTION
HOW DO FEELINGS; WILL MAKE THE US POLITICIANS HAVE CERTAIN EVALUATE THIS?
YOU
ALISTAIR
ASPREY:
I
DON'T
THINK
I CAN REALLY SPECULATE HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION LIKE THAT. THE UNITED STATES IS NOT A PARTY TO THE THIS AGREEMENT, THIS IS AGREEMENT BETWEEN OURSELVES AND VIETNAM.
WE HAVE ISSUE OF FORCE HAS NOT BEEN AN ISSUE IN THE NEGOTIATIONS.
NORMAL INTERNATIONAL AGREED THAT RETURNS WILL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH PRACTICE IN THE SAME WAY AS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE RETURNED TO COUNTRIES EVERY DAY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
