IN INTERGOVERNMENTAL EFFORTS TO RESOLVE
REFUGEE PROBLEMS
Foreword
The primary objective of this treatise is to record the
gradual development of participation by the United States in
international particularly intergovernmental efforts to resolve
refugee problems during the period 1933 - 1966. An attempt is
made to appraise the role and the effectiveness of United
States participation and the degree of leadership assumed.
No attempt is made to write the histories of the successive
organizations involved, many of which have already been
published. A single exception is that of the Intergovernmental
Committee for European Migration (ICEM) which is still
functioning. Where pertinent to the main objective, a
discussion of proportionate U.S. financial contributions to
the various organizations is included.

period. Provisions for the protection of the civil rights of
