Refugee reception operations under U.S. realist foreign policy
Perry Bremont, a United Nations official in Yugoslavia, noted that Nanzla planned to transport 10,000 Hungarian refugees from Yugoslavia to Australia and Canada, and with the help of the Intergovernmental European Migration Committee, "980 civilians were transported from Otzhanga to 767 civilians on a steamship to Vancouver on September 5 alone," and on September 28, the refugees arrived in Jast (the port city in the northeastern part of the Great East) on the ship SS Sea.
On September 22, a group of refugees, averaging 23, left Lin, Austria, by train for Belgium. 23 dental refugees arrived in Rhodesia (Africa, British colony), 7 Latin American countries received 189 and 61 arrived in France by train. The reception operation began on 27 September, with Venezuela selecting among refugees registered with the Office of the Intergovernmental European Commission on Migration.
Australia, Brazil and Chile, Costa Rica have selected a total of 50 people, and the first refugees will arrive in Costa Rica in September. As of October 28, 1956, "the number of all those seeking protection in Austria is 171365 of which 14,654 have settled in other countries of the world." ”
This compares with "37,779 dental refugees and 15,785 remaining in Yugoslavia as of April 5, 1957." By June 29, 1957, this figure had dropped to: "15,000 in Austria, only 14,000 in South Sla".
During this emergency relief operation, about 180,000 refugees were transported to different countries by ship, car, train and plane.
In order to resettle these refugees as quickly as possible, many regions have responded by breaking away from their traditional immigration policies and finding new solutions around the actual situation of refugees. In Canada, for example, "Canada has lowered the standards and limits for refugee acceptance, accepting a total of 38,000 dental refugees, and even relaxed the domestic law prohibiting resettlement in winter." ”
Hungarian refugees are actively invited to go to countries other than Austria, but some refugees still choose to remain in Austria.
Some middle-aged refugees, in particular, because in 1957 United Refugees will introduce a dental resettlement program that will cost about $35 million, and most of this money will be used to solve the housing problem of refugees.
It also includes education for young refugees and other necessary living facilities: assistance to refugee students and intellectuals: microcredit for refugees to help them integrate into Austrian society as quickly as possible and establish themselves; At the same time, the funds are used to help Hungarian refugees with disabilities. Therefore, the refugees who remain in Austria hope that with this money, they can quickly improve their lives.
The resolution of the 1956 refugee crisis was not only a milestone event in Austrian history, but also an indelible mark on the international community.
"Most scholars now agree that the 1956 Guli refugee was the first case of generously accepting refugees internationally. More importantly, the management of the refugee crisis provides a strong argument for resolving the refugee problem in the international context, not just in the way bilateral relations are handled. ”
Dr. Lindt played an important role in the Yali refugee camp rescue operation, which was successfully resolved through the joint efforts of UNHCR, the Intergovernmental European Commission on Migration and various non-governmental organizations, which also left a permanent mark on international refugee law and refugee policy.
After the outbreak of the Hungarian incident, due to the constraints of the Yalta Agreement and the concern of the nuclear balance between the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States chose to morally denounce and did not launch military assistance to Hungary. After the influx of refugees into Austria, the Austrian state received assistance beyond its capabilities, and the United States also actively took rescue measures under the appeal of international organizations.
