Having settled nearly 300,000 refugees, China was well aware of the enormous economic and social burdens that such assistance entailed for the developing countries. Undoubtedly, countries of resettlement had also accepted a large number of refugees, but they could make a selection in a considered manner. Countries of first asylum had no such alternative. His delegation endorsed the recommendation that those coxmtries should not be made to bear any additional burden as a result of the measures envisaged in the report. UNHCR, furthermore, should examine the adverse impact of repeated cuts to refugee programmes both on refugees and on the asylum coimtries. 48. With regard to the question of co-operation between UNHCR and other United Nations agencies, the report put forward many recommendations, including a call on the High Commissioner to request the Secretary-General to ensure a maximum of co-ordination and burden sharing among all relevant United Nations agencies in support of refugees. His delegation welcomed those recommendations and hoped to see concrete measures taken for their implementation at an early date. 49. Mr. HAMDAN (Lebanon) said that the set of measures proposed in the Temporary Working Group's report should be seen not as a static but as a continuous exercise to be reconsidered as and when appropriate. While not distancing itself from the common position taken by the countries of the Non-Aligned Movement, as set up by the representative of Yugoslavia, his delegation wished to place on record that it considered it vital for UNHCR to contribute and, indeed, play a key role not only in cases of refugee flows from one country to another but also when mass displacements occurred within a country. In Lebanon, for example, acts of violence had resulted in such a displacement affecting more than one and a half million people. While it was A/AC.96/SR.448 page 13
