The United Nations General Assembly last night unanimously adopted a resolution calling on all member nations to accept a “fair share” of non-repatriable DP’s as immigrants and aimed two blows at Jewish immigration to Palestine.
A British amendment to the resolution urged member states “not to accord aid and protection to individuals or organizations which are engaged in the promoting or operting of illegal immigration.” Another section of the program, inspired by Arab delegates, instructed the International Refugee Organization to give “due weight” to evi##e of “genuine apprehension and concern” either in countries of origin or destination to which migrations are considered.
