Download or read book The Indochinese Exodus written by United States. General Accounting Office and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 130 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: This report studies the situation of Indochinese refugees in the countries of first asylum in South East Asia and examines the process of resettlement in the United States. The report describes the policies of first asylum countries towards refugees and concludes that the refugee flow has significantly strained these Governments' capacity to provide even the basic facilities. The US resettlement process, including selection, is described and evaluated, with recommendations concerning the uncertain legal status of refugees, the inadequate social security services and medical problems. The report also contains sections on the work of UNHCR and voluntary agencies and their relations with the US Federal Government .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fall of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos to communist armies in 1975 caused a massive outpouring of refugees from these nations. This work focuses on the refugee crisis and the American aid workers--a colorful crew of malcontents and mavericks drawn from the State Department, military, USAID, CIA, and the Peace Corps--who took on the task of helping those most impacted by the Vietnam War. Experts in Southeast Asia, its languages, cultures and people, they saved hundreds of thousands of lives. They were the very antithesis of the "Ugly American."
