THEIR IMMEDIATE REACTION WAS NEGATIVE BUT AFTER WE EXPLAINED THAT
THIS ARRANGEMENT HAD BEEN PROPOSED BY UNHCR DURING THE ICIR PREPARATIONS, (SEE UNHCR'S NOTE ON DEPARTURES AND REPATRIATION PARA 12C) THEY AGREED TO RECONSIDER THEIR POSITION. WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL
IF UKMIS GENEVA WOULD MAKE THIS POINT TO VIERA DE MELLO.
4. WE ARE ANXIOUS TO AVOID ACCUSATIONS AT SC3 THAT WE HAVE NOT GIVEN VOLUNTARY REPATRIATION A FAIR TRY. WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN REFUTE ANY SUCH CHARGES BUT THIS NEW INITIATIVE SHOULD STRENGTHEN OUR
HAND.
