UN General Assembly
1964

202. The Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity, at its second ordinary session in Lagos in February 1964, set up a commission consisting of ten African States to examine the refugee problem in Africa. Recommendations to the Assembly of Heads of State In July of this year specified that the African Member States should seek the help of their Asian and other friends in getting the United Nations to give Increased assistance for the solution of the problem on the continent. It is the feeling of my delegation that a decision at this session should make It possible for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to maintain an even closer co-ordination of efforts with the Commission for Refugees in Africa.
