CONTPELUTE GENEROUSLY TO THE EVER-ESCALATING COSTS. SECONDLY, WE NEED TO LOOK AT PROPOSALS TO DRING ORDER INTO THE FLOW OF REFUGEES FROM VIETNAM SO THAT THE PRESENT APPALLING LOSS OF
LA
IS ARRESTED. TPIRDLY, E NEED T REASSERT THE PRINCIPLES OF FIRST ASYLUM AND THE SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA KICH HAVE COME UNDER SUCH STRAIN AS THE PRESENT CRISTO PAS CROWN.
IN THE RESETTLEMENT ARRANGEMENTS THERE MUST BE NO JUMPING OF THE ALREADY OVERLONG VEVE OF PEOPLE AWAITING RESETTLEMENT IN FONG KONG AND SOUTH-EAST ASIA. INTERNATIONAL SUPERVISION IS AN
ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY SCHEME.
IF OTHERS AGREE, SUCH SUPERVISION COULD BEST DE EXERCISED BY A COMMISSION DRAWN FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF NEUTRAL AND NON-ALIGNED COUNTRIES. THIS COMMISSION WOULD WORK CLOSELY WITH THE UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES AND THE VIETNAMESE GOVERNMENT TO SET UP AND MANAGE ACCEPTABLE ARRANGEMENTS FOR FANDLING PEOPLE WHO WISH TO LEAVE VIETNAM.
THE SAME COMMISSION, OR ONE LIKE IT, SHOULD ALSO TACKLE THE PLIGHT OF THOSE WHO SWISH TO LEAVE LAOS AND COMBODIA. THE PRESSURE ON THAILAND IS ALREADY ACUTE. IT COULD BECOME HITOLERABLE 17 FIGHTING CONTINUES IN CAMBODIA AND IF THERE IS A SERIOUS FAMINE THERE. THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY MUST DO WHAT IT CAN IMMEDIATELY TO PROVIDE FOOD FOR THE STARVING UIDER EFFECTIVE INTERNATIONAL SUPERVISION. THERE MUST DE AN END TO THE FIGHTING, A POLITICAL SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS OF THIS MISERABLE AND VAR-RAVAGED COUNTRY MUST BE FOUND.
IN THE CONTEXT OF ORDERLY DEPARTURE, MY GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS THE PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH LARGE TRANSIT CENTRES TO PROVIDE TEMPORARY HOMES MEANWHILE, AND WE SHALL COOPERATE WITH THE HIGH COMMISSIONER AND THE GOVERNMENTS DIRECTLY INVOLVED.
CUT THESE TEMPORARY HOMES MUST NOT BEA LLOWED TO BECOME PERMANENT. IT IS TOO EASY TO FAIL TO FOLLOW THROUGH, TO LEAVE MASSES OF PEOPLE TO GROW DEMORALISED IN CAMPS AS THE MONTHS GROW INTO
YEARS. WE SHOULD TAKE FURTHER STEPS TO REUITE THOSE FAMILIES
HICH HAVE BEEN SEPARATED.
THE WORLD MUST DO THEIR UTMOST TO GIVE PERMANENT PO.150 AND A LIVELIHOOD TO THE REFUGEES, AND TO FINANCE THE EVER-INCREASING COSTS. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAL, FRANCE, AND THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA HAVE ALREADY DONE A GREAT DEAL. MANY OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE ALSO MADE NOTABLE CONTRIBUTIONS.
