countries should finance refugee resettlement and related costs in their countries, leaving UNHCR to focus only on legal protection; that would free substantial ftmds for first-asyliom countries in Asia, Africa and Central America. A/AC.96/SR.450 page A 12. His delegation hoped that it would be possible to restore to the 1991 budget some of the worthwhile activities that would have to be cancelled or deferred in 1990; it would be helpful if the 1991 budget clearly identified such desirable activities and their additional costs. An increase in United States support for refugee assistance in 1991 had been requested from the Congress which it was hoped would help such items to be restored. 13. His delegation fully supported the steps being taken to reduce administrative costs, especially by staff reductions. It stressed the need to ensure that staff reductions were not detrimental to the enhanced technical support, training and emergency response services developed in recent years which enabled UNHCR to forestall the crises that had beset refugee camps in the past. 14. His delegation felt obliged-to point out that some of the impact of the current crisis described in document A/AC.96/744 was attributable to a lack of prioritization and of technical management rather than to a shortage of funds. It recognized that the present budget would not fulfil the common objectives of the Executive Committee in respect of assistance to refugees. However, full implementation of all the recommendations of the Temporary Working Group would go a long way towards overcoming the crisis. Those recommendations fell into four categories: increased income from traditional and new donors; improved conditions of service delivery in countries of asylum; greater inter-agency co-operation; cost effective management by UNHCR. 15. In conclusion his delegation supported the proposed budget but urged careful consideration of the issues it had outlined.
