1989 (Executive Committee—40 th Session)<br />
m) Underlined that resettlement is not only a possible solution for some refugees, but is also an urgent<br />
protection measure in the individual case, welcomed the fact that several African States provide such<br />
resettlement opportunities, and invited all states to make places speedily available to respond to urgent or<br />
emergency protection situations facing individual refugees;<br />
n) Noted the accomplishments of the Office in the promotion and dissemination of refugee law, including<br />
particularly the organization of protection training courses for government and other concerned officials, and<br />
urged the High Commissioner to pursue his activities in this regard, making every effort to ensure that such<br />
protection training courses continue on a significant scale;<br />
o) Welcomed the recent accession of Hungary to the 1951 United Nations Convention and the 1967<br />
Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees and encouraged the High Commissioner actively to promote further<br />
the universal applicability of these instruments;<br />
p) Reaffirmed the crucial role played since its inception by the Sub-Committee of the Whole on<br />
International Protection in identifying existing shortcomings and problems in the field of refugee protection and<br />
by formulating conclusions which serve as international guidelines to be drawn upon by States, <strong>UNHCR</strong> and<br />
others when developing or orienting their policies on refugee issues;<br />
q) Decide that, in view of the importance of this task and in order to allow the Sub-Committee to consider<br />
all aspects of any issue in depth, the agenda for the Sub-Committee should preferably be limited to one or two<br />
subjects of practical benefit to refugees, that greater use could be made of informal working groups between<br />
annual meetings and that, whenever required, a particular issue should be considered at consecutive sessions of<br />
the Sub-Committee.<br />
