We hope that the world community now has at least a breathing
space while it sets about the urgent task of clearing the refugee
camps in South East Asia and so giving new lives to the boat
people and land refugees. This is the first priority as
Dr Waldheim repeated in his summing-up. The world community is
clearly ready to grasp its responsibilities for bringing order into
the human misery which marks the refugee situation in South East
Asia. The world now looks to Vietnam to show the same responsibility
as
a member of the community of nations.
