61. Venezuela was a country of asyltun and had no refugees. It encouraged the peace process in Latin America and in so doing addressed the root cause of the refugee problem. It approved the proposed budget submitted to the extraordinary session on the understanding that it was a crisis budget. Her delegation thanked the asylum countries and the large contributors that enabled the UNHCR to continue its work and assured the High Commissioner of Venezuela's support. 62. Mr. WALKER (Australia) said that hç applauded the clarity and directness of the statements made by the High Commissioner and the Deputy High Commissioner. He welcomed and endorsed the efforts and the decision to reconcile income and needs and appreciated the difficulty of the decision which the High Commissioner and his Office had been forced to make. 63. It was necessary to ensure the protection of refugees to enable them to live in dignity. However, the phenomenon of mass migration could not be ignored. It was not Australia's policy to exclude settlers from any country but it was concerned that the facilities provided for refugees should not be overwhelmed by people who claimed refugee status simply to migrate for economic reasons. The international cost was enormous and the amoxmts spent by countries in some cases far exceeded UNHCR's entire budget on people who were not refugees. It was, therefore, important that UNHCR should help in dealing with those issues and he strongly supported the work done through the informal consultations on asylum-seekers. 64. The international community together with UNHCR needed to address the problem of durable solutions and the causes of refugee outflow. Australia looked forward to participating in the Working Group on Protection and Durable Solutions and attached great value to the pioneering work done in the Division of Refugee Law and Doctrine on that issue.
