AND (C)

The Steering Committee agreed that measures should be urgently

implemented to promote on an accelerated basis the voluntary

repatriation, under the CPA, of those persons determined not to be

refugees and to facilitate the voluntary repatriation of those

asylum-seekers (and refugees) who wish to return to their country of

origin, in order that progress achieved can be reviewed at the

October meeting. Furthermore, the Steering Committee recommended

that work be undertaken by interested governments and organisations

before the October meeting in order to recommend by that date the

early examination and adoption of such additional measures

called for, bearing in mind paragraphs 12 and 14 of the CPA. such

measures should give priority to practical solutions for those

persons determined not to be refugees under the status determination

process, as provided for in the CPA, e.g (a) the phased, orderly and

monitored return and reintegration in safety and dignity of all those

determined not to be refugees, under the "good offices" of UNHCR; (b)

a regional holding centre of the kind envisaged in paragraph 14 of

the CPA.
