Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

TAGS: PREF, PREL, PHUM, KN, KS, CB, Refugee, North Korea (DPRK)
SUBJECT: GUIDANCE REGARDING TWO NORTH KOREAN SISTERS IN
CAMBODIA
REF: A. STATE 104207
B. BEIJING 8769
Classified By: Political Counselor Robert Clarke. Reason: 1.4 (b,d).
1. (C) Per ref a request, on June 7 Refcoord told UNHCR
Regional Representative Hasim Utkan that the U.S. would
consider refugee referrals of the two North Korean sisters
reportedly in Cambodia if UNHCR determines that it is in
their best interest to travel to the United States.
2. (C) Utkan said he understood and noted that the two girls
had not yet approached the UNHCR office in Phnom Penh. He
also cautioned that if UNHCR were to refer the cases to the
United States and they were accepted for resettlement, there
may be some difficulty in their movement to the United
States. He noted that in the cases of 5 North Koreans who
entered the Swedish and French Embassies in Hanoi earlier
this year, the Thai goverment refused to allow them to
transit Bangkok for South Korea. As a result, UNHCR had to
arrange for their transport through Singapore.
