South Korea to build refugee centers
http://www.instablogs.com/Sout... '>http://www.instablogs.com/Sout... Korea is considering building refugee centers in Thailand, Mongolia and Russia to house North Koreans fleeing their homeland in search of asylum. Hundreds of North Koreans flee the hermit state every year, usually crossing into China and then on to a third country on their way to eventual asylum in South Korea.South Korea to build refugee centersThe South Korean government should speedup up establishing refugee centers in the Far East and South East Asian countries that serve as transit route for fleeing North Koreans. Countries that experience migrant influx from North Korea such as Mongolia, Russia and China on account of their geographical proximity should be supported by the south in the formers effort to economically support them. Thailand may not be sharing borders with the north but it is a major transit route for those who escape north. Therefore, the government must act speedily to organize refugee camps in these countries and support the respective governments in providing adequate facilities. Also, South must ensure that North Korean refugees to these countries are finally granted asylum within South Korea rather than being a mute witness to their repatriation. At a time when the south is building plans to lead the Korean unification it needs to prove its credential as a nation that can take responsibility of the suffering northerners. http://www.instablogs.com/Sout...
