44. Supplementary memorandum
submitted by UNHCR
At this stage, we do not intend to offer any
comments on Mr Letwin's proposals. You will recall that we likewise
refrained from commenting directly on the UK Government's proposals
as we wished to avoid fuelling the polemics of the debate at the
expense of the real issues. UNHCR's three-pronged framework stands
apart from other proposals. It has the clear advantage of an integrated
system which is built around multilateral commitments and which
is consistent with core protection principles. At this juncture,
we think it best to leave it to the Committee to note the areas
where other proposals depart from UNHCR's standard.
