Classified By: AMB. JON R. PURNELL, FOR REASONS 1.4 (B, D)

(C) Following the GOU's decision to shut the UNHCR office
(reftel),UNHCR's Protection Officer told Poloff that Chief
of Mission Abdul Karim Ghoul has submitted a proposal to
UNHCR headquarters suggesting that UNDP assume the office's
responsibilities. The Protection Officer noted that UNDP's
Resident Coordinator usually handles refugee-related issues
in countries without a UNHCR office. The Protection officer
added that she expects a response from UNHCR headquarters
within the next three days.
