(SBU) PolChief raised urgent need for temporary relocation of
Uzbek asylum seekers with UN Division Director Adrian Ligor
July 15, stressing the humanitarian urgency of this matter.
Ligor said that he was unable to provide an initial
substantive response, but committed to share the points with
the MFA Human Rights Division and the Romanian delegation in
Geneva. In a subsequent conversation with PolOff, Andreea
Chiriac, Deputy Director of the MFA Human Rights, OSCE and
Council of Europe Division, stated that the MFA would need to
discuss the "viability" of possible relocation of asylum
seekers in Romania with Interior Ministry officials. She
added that current torrential flooding and its humanitarian
aftermath in Romania would likely limit the GOR's "capacity"
to offer assistance to the asylum seekers.
