REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL TO THE GENERAL COUNCIL OF THE INTERNATIONAL REFUGEE ORGANIZATION, 1 JULY 1948-30 JUNE 1949

19491st edition. Original photographic paper wrappers, 8vo, 87 pages. Includes many photos and graphs. Cover title is International Refugee Organization, 1948-1949. The International Refugee Organization (IRO) was founded on 20 April 1946, and took over the functions of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, which was shut down in 1947. While the handover was originally planned to take place at the beginning of 1947, it did not occur until July 1947. The International Refugee Organization was a temporary organization of the United Nations (UN) , which itself had been founded in 1945, with a mandate to largely finish the UNRRA's work of repatriating or resettling European refugees. It was dissolved in 1952 after resettling about one million refugees. The definition of a refugee at this time was an individual with either a Nansen passport or a Certificate of identity issued by the International Refugee Organization. The Constitution of the International Refugee Organization, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 15 December 1946, specified the agency's field of operations. Controversially, this defined "persons of German ethnic origin" who had been expelled, or were to be expelled from their countries of birth into the postwar Germany, as individuals who would "not be the concern of the Organization. " This excluded from its purview a group that exceeded in number all the other European displaced persons put together. Also, because of disagreements between the Western allies and the Soviet Union, the IRO only worked in areas controlled by Western armies of occupation (Wikipedia 2016) . SUBJECT(S) : Political refugees. World War, 1939-1945 -- Refugees. No copies listed on OCLC Worldcat. Light Wear Very Good Condition. Rare. (holo2-132-6)
