The year beginning on July 1, 1959 was designated as World
Refugee Year by a resolution adopted by the General Assembly of
the United Nations on December 5, 1958. The purpose of the
year was to disseminate broadly to governments and to the publics
of different countries information on existing refugee problems
and to leave to the initiative of governments and the publics such
helpful actions as they might choose to take in assisting resolu-
tions of refugee problems. The Secretary General of the United
Nations appointed a Special Representative, Mr. Claude de Kemoularia,
(France) to coordinate actions taken under the auspices of World
Refugee Year.
The larger problems of refugees remaining unresolved at the
beginning of 1959 were some 160,000 unsettled refugees in Europe,
including 40,000 still living in camps, under the mandate of the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Mr. Auguste Lindt,
(switzerland), the 900,000 Palestine refugees in the Middle East
under the care of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
for Palestine Refugees, the 1,000,000 Chinese refugees from mainland
China in Hong Kong, and over 200,000 Algerian refugees in Tunisia
and Morocco. There were also smaller groups of refugees, such as
Yugoslav refugees in Austria, Germany, Italy and Greece, refugees
of European origin still entering Hong Kong from mainland China,
persons forced by economic measures to leave Egypt, and Hungarian
