YOUR TELNO 126 TO HANOI: VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE: VOLUNTARY REPATRIATION
K
1 WE URGED UNHCR ON 16 MARCH, AS IN PARA 2 OF TUR, TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF VOLUNTARY REPATRIATION FLIGHTS IN APRIL. VIEIRA DE MELLO TOOK NOTE. HE SAID HE WOULD PURSUE THIS WITH UNHCR HONG KONG ON HIS ARRIVAL THERE LATER THIS MONTH. HE AGREED THAT WE SHOULD DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO CLEAR THE BACKLOG OF VOLUNTEERS. AS VIEIRA DE MELLO HAD ALREADY LEFT GENEVA WHEN WE RECEIVED HONG KONG TELNO 962 ABOUT USE OF A TRISTAR, GRATEFUL IF HONG KONG WOULD PURSUE THIS POINT DIRECTLY WITH HIM ON ARRIVAL.
2. VIEIRA DE MELLO ALSO UNDERTOOK TO PURSUE IN HONG KONG POSSIBLE OBSTACLES TO VOLUNTARY REPATRIATION, AS SET OUT IN HONG KONG TELNO 009. HE WAS PARTICULARLY CONCERNED TO HEAR CONTINUING ALLEGATION THAT UNHCR IN HONG KONG WERE MAKING INSUFFICIENT EFFORT LOCALLY TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO VOLUNTEER. HE HOPED HONG KONG COULD BE EXPLICIT IN ITS CRITICISM, CITING EXAMPLES EITHER IN THE UNHCR OFFICE OR WITH THE VIETNAMESE.
