1. Notes with deep regret that repatriation or
compensation of the refugees as provided for in paragraph 11 of General
Assembly resolution 194 (III) has not been effected, that no substantial
progress has been made in the programme endorsed by the Assembly in
paragraph 2 of its resolution 513 (VI) of 26 January 1952 for the
reintegration of refugees either by repatriation or resettlement and that,
therefore, the situation of the refugees continues to be a matter of
serious concern;
2. Expresses its thanks to the
Commissioner-General and to all the staff of the United Nations Relief and
Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, recognizing that the
Agency is doing all it can within the limits of available resources, and
also expresses its thanks to the specialized agencies and private
organizations for their valuable work in assisting the refugees;
3. Reiterates its request that the headquarters
of the Agency should be relocated to its former site within its area of
operations as soon as practicable;
4. Notes with regret that the United Nations
Conciliation Commission for Palestine has been unable to find a means of
achieving progress in the implementation of paragraph 11 of General
Assembly resolution 194 (III),2/ and requests the Commission to
exert continued efforts towards the implementation of that paragraph and to
report to the Assembly as appropriate, but no later than 1 September 1991;
5. Directs attention to the continuing
seriousness of the financial position of the Agency, as outlined in the
report of the Commissioner-General;
6. Notes with profound concern that, despite the
commendable and successful efforts of the Commissioner-General to collect
additional contributions, this increased level of income to the Agency is
still insufficient to cover essential budget requirements in the present
year and that, at currently foreseen levels of giving, deficits will recur
each year;
7. Calls upon all Governments, as a matter of
urgency, to make the most generous efforts possible to meet the anticipated
needs of the Agency, particularly in the light of the budgetary deficit
projected in the report of the Commissioner-General, and therefore urges
non-contributing Governments to contribute regularly and contributing
Governments to consider increasing their regular contributions.
