1992 (Executive Committee—43rd Session)
(w) Deplores ethnic and other forms of intolerance as one of the major causes of forced migratory
movements, at the same time expresses its concern regarding xenophobia in segments of the population in a
number of countries receiving refugees and asylum-seekers which has exposed them to considerable danger and,
therefore, calls upon States and UNHCR to continue to work actively to promote broader understanding
throughout national communities of the plight of refugees and asylum-seekers;
(x) Takes note of the important contribution being made by the High Commissioner to concerned
international bodies and requests her to continue to seek expanded cooperation with these bodies, such as
UNDP, UNICEF, WFP, FAO, UNEP, the Centre for Human Rights, the Commission on Human Rights, IOM
and ICRC, and thereby, inter alia, to promote broadened awareness of the link between refugees and human
rights, as well as development and environmental issues;
(y) Reiterates its call to States and relevant international agencies actively to explore and promote
measures favourable to stateless persons and, recognizing the absence of an international body with a general
mandate for these persons, calls upon the High Commissioner to continue her efforts generally on behalf of
stateless individuals and to work actively to promote adherence to and implementation of the international
instruments relating to statelessness.
