UNIS/SC/1275 13 November 2000 Departing United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Briefs Council One Last Time NEW YORK, 10 November (UN Headquarters) In her final briefing to the Security Council this afternoon, Sadako Ogata, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, stressed that in most parts of the world where her agency and its partners had to operate, mechanisms to address security problems were slow-moving, unwieldy and not adapted to the new types of conflicts. Mrs. Ogata ends nearly 10 years as High Commissioner on 31 December. Her term, which began in 1991, spanned one of the most tumultuous decades in the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' 50-year history. The agency, which has more than 5,000 staff in some 120 countries, marks the fiftieth anniversary of its founding on 14 December. Professor Ruud Lubbers, former Dutch Prime Minister, will succeed Mrs.Ogata as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Council President Peter van Walsum (Netherlands) expressed the Council's deep appreciation to Mrs. Ogata for striving to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees and for contributing through her work to the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, the maintenance of international peace and security, the development of friendly relations among nations, and the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Print this page Official statement Report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees: questions relating to refugees, returnees and displaced persons and humanitarian questions United Nations, General Assembly, 53rd session, Third Committee, item 105 of the agenda In most situations of armed conflict and internal violence, the plight of refugees, displaced persons and returnees is a major source of concern for the international community in general and, more particularly, for humanitarian organizations. The report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) highlights the gravity and persistence of the problems affecting people who have fled war, persecution or widespread insecurity. More and more often, entire populations in danger are compelled to leave their homes for another destination, chosen or not, either within their own country or across borders. Others return to their places of origin with no guarantee of a safe and stable future. Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, and the African Great Lakes region, notably in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, are cases in point. The lack of respect for the most basic rules of humanity in armed conflicts has had dramatic consequences these last few years. Atrocities committed against defenceless civilians, including women, children, refugees, and the displaced, reflect a total contempt for principles common to all mankind. This alarming state of affairs is even more evident in ethnic conflicts, where the civilian population becomes the target of the belligerents; it is equally the case in "destructured" conflicts marked by the disintegration of State structures, the collapse of chains of command and rampant banditry in the guise of political action.
Conversation With Sadako Ogata - P. 2 Of 6

http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/Elberg/Ogata/ogatacon2.html

Extractions: Photo by Robert Holmgren Page 2 of 6 Describe the evolution of the UNHCR. The first high commissioner was appointed in 1951. In the beginning it was a very small office, dealing mostly with the refugees from the socialist countries in Europe, trying to help them, protect them, and make sure that they were resettled. They left because of fear of persecution, because of their political beliefs, or because of their racial, religious, or ethnic background. When that was settled, an outflow of refugees started taking place in Africa. This was a very agonizing time for the office because it had never really been involved in the Third World. In the sixties this massive exodus began with Algerian independence and continued with other African countries as they began the decolonization process. People were leaving; freedom fighters and members of liberation movements left the country, and the high commissioner protected them in the neighboring countries. So in the sixties the main interest of our office was Africa. Did the size of the organization grow?

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees provides protection and assistance and seeks durable solutions for over 20 million refugees and other persons of concern. The United States is a strong supporter of the agency and is its largest donor.

Extractions: February 27, 2005, the "Eureka" Children and Youth Creativity Centre of the Frunzenskiy District of Minsk held the traditional holiday of children's fashion named "Kaleidoscope of Fantasies-2005." During the event, a fashion show of a unique collection of clothes took place, which had been designed and tailored by young fashion designers. The "highlight" of the holiday was an opening ceremony of a sewing mini-shop, in which the premises repairs and the purchase of the sewing equipment had been funded by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Belarus. The idea to launch a mini-shop on the basis of the "Eureka" Centre belongs to the Administration of the Frunzenskiy District of Minsk. Thanks to the Project, now the girls aged 14-16, mostly children from trouble families, "problem" teenagers and children-refugees, will be able not only obtain their first labour skills, but also to get prepared for their independent exit to the labour market, as well as to improve their material situation. "It is a very important project for us," Ms. Mohammad Zora, an Afghanistan refugee and now a beginner- seamstress, said. "Now, we can earn money and somehow help our families. But the main thing is that we shall obtain a profession and have less concern about the future. We shall be able to maintain ourselves and note to hope exclusively for the government's aid." It is planned, that the products of the sewing mini-shop will be delivered gratuitously to children's homes, preschool establishments and hospitals.

Mrs. Ogata met the Friends of the Secretary General in order to study the situation in Abkhazia in depth. She was also informed about the situation in South Ossetia by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the UNHCR Mobile Team. In addition, Mrs. Ogata met the Resident Representatives from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Bank to discuss the transition process from humanitarian assistance to development. Along with the official meetings Mrs. Ogata visited Zugdidi, where she was briefed by the representatives of UNOMIG and local authorities, as well as the representatives of the different non-governmental organisations (NGOs) on the situation in the region and, particularly, on the conditions for IDPs there. Since 1993, UNHCR has been providing humanitarian assistance to the internally displaced in Georgia. UNHCR also supports the conflict resolution processes sponsored by the OSCE through monitoring, emergency relief assistance in the respective conflict zones and rehabilitation assistance in South Ossetia and government controlled areas.

Impl Leg An anal. rev. of state of MA UNGA Resolutions Mine Ban Treaty The Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has always been a strong advocate for an international ban on the use, production, stockpiling, sale, transfer or export of anti-personnel landmines. Nothing less than a complete international ban on landmines can prevent risks to innocent civilians. Landmines force people to leave their houses, they hinder the delivery of humanitarian assistance, they violate the human right to seek asylum and most importantly, landmines impede the solution of refugee problems through voluntary repatriation. The mandate of UNHCR is to provide international protection to refugees and promote durable solutions to their problems. The return of refugees home is considered the most desirable durable solution. However, often this preferred solution compromises the physical integrity and the livelihood of refugees when landmines are present in the areas of origin. Internally displaced persons can also face the same problems.
