Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper contains four distinct parts relating to the preparation for the Second International Conference on Indo-Chinese Refugees held in Geneva in June 1989. The Introduction presents the developments which led up to the decision to convene the Conference, beginning with the foreign ministers meeting of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Bangkok in 1988 and a Preparatory Conference in Kuala Lumpur in March 1989. It was during this latter meeting that a draft proposal for a Comprehensive Plan of Action for achieving durable solutions to the region's refugee problem was approved. The second section describes the refugee situation in South East Asia and the 1979 Geneva Meeting designed to establish the basic framework for responding to the exodus of refugees in the region. The breakdown of the system for handling the situation and the lack of a workable range of humane alternatives led, according to the report, to ASEAN's appeal. The third brief section describes the various conferences held and the preparation for the Comprehensive Plan of Action. The fourth section is the Plan itself, which includes a broad framework for attacking the root causes of mass exodus while more firmly establishing international responsibility. The Plan has four major areas: it moves towards a de-coupling of the provision of first asylum from a prerequisite by countries outside the region to large-scale resettlement of Vietnamese; it seeks more regular relationships with Viet Nam regarding departure and return; movements of people out of Viet Nam and Laos are to be handled in a humanitarian manner; the Plan suggests the possibility of alternatives to voluntary return of those who do not meet the criteria for consideration as refugees.

Book excerpt: For half a century (ever since the Japanese invasion of 1942), much of Southeast Asia has been racked by war. In the last 20 years alone, some three million people fled their homes in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. This book is their story. It is also the story of the international community's response. Spearheading this was the United Nations agency responsible, UNHCR. It pioneered innovations like the Orderly Departure Programme, anti-piracy and rescue-at-sea efforts, and later on, ambitious reintegration projects for returnees. Today the camps in Southeast Asia are closed. Half a million people have returned home. Over two million have started new lives in the United States, Canada, Australia and France. This compelling book is the history of this modern exodus. It also takes stock and poses important questions. How did the flight of refugees and international response evolve? How do we measure the achievements and the failures of that international effort? What has been the legacy in Asia itself? And what lessons can be drawn for use in other refugee situations around the world?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Massive refugee migrations in Southeast Asia set off in 1975 by changes of government in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, are a problem of both humanitarian and political concern. The refugees pose potentially disruptive political problems for the asylum countries, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Hong Kong. Only a few countries, the United States, France, Australia, and Canada, have accepted an appreciable number of refugees for resettlement. In an effort to obtain worldwide participation in alleviating the Indochina refugee crisis, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), has changed its funding program and has held international conferences aimed at obtaining more resettlement offers. It is imperative that appropriate asylum and additional temporary care facilities be provided and effectively managed. Current law does not clearly express U.S. intentions and commitments to refugee resettlement and has made planning and processing of refugees very difficult. Commitments need to be more formally embodied in law to express the will of Congress and possibly to motivate other nations to share refugee relief. A refugee admission and resettlement policy needs to be established.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This statement, prepared for the International Conference on Indo-Chinese Refugees by the Advocacy Planning Task Force, an ad hoc group of Indo-Chinese-American community leaders based in the Washington DC area, and endorsed by 145 Indo-Chinese organizations in the United States, Canada and Europe, expresses the concern of the overseas Indo-Chinese community about the present treatment of asylum seekers from the Indo-Chinese region. The statement also reflects their concern regarding measures proposed at the International Conference. In the first part of the statement, the authors recommend, in particular, that any international arrangements and practices being worked out for Vietnamese should apply equally to asylum seekers from Laos and Kampuchea, and that Kampucheans should be given the status of refugees rather than 'displaced persons' as in the past. Section II is a 'Call to Action' to ensure safe refuge, genuine protection and timely resettlement for all Indo-Chinese asylum seekers. The third and final section offers specific recommendations regarding the implementation of elements contained in the Comprehensive Plan of Action adopted by the Conference. These elements consist of screening, orderly departure programmes, repatriation, resettlement and oversight and enforcement mechanisms.
