Abstract
The World Refugee Year was launched last June in accordance with a resolution by the General Assembly of the United Nations, which named the aims as: (1) to encourage interest in refugees and to secure additional financial contributions; and (2) to provide additional opportunities for permanent solutions, through voluntary repatriation, resettlement, or integration. In the United Kingdom a central committee was set up, with the following objectives: to aid the 160,000 unsettled refugees in Europe who came under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees; to promote settlement of the 8000 European refugees on the mainland of China; to aid the Chinese refugees, numbering close on a million, in Hong Kong; and to aid the million refugees (nearly all Arabs) from Palestine. This account of refugees in Europe is based on the observations and inquiries of a member of our staff in Italy, Austria, and Germany.
