Government that its apparent failure to grant asylum to any significant number of Salvadorans. coupled with continuing largescale forcible and voluntary return to El Salvador. would appear to represent a negation of its responsibilities assumed upon Its adherence to the Protocol. Mr. President. what I find particularly distressing is that this is the first time in my memory that officials of the UNHCR have ever found it necessary to suggest the United States is failing to fulfill its international obligations toward refugees. It is unconscionable and without precedent. We have never. ever. under Democratic or Republican administrations. allowed such questions to arise.
