Summary 
------- 
 
1. (SBU) UNHCR's Assistant Commissioner for Protection Erika 
Feller visted Gia Lai Province April 26-27 and met Vice 
Foreign Minister Nguyen Phu Binh April 28.  While in Gia 
Lai, she met with six returnees (including two individuals 
who were singled out by Human Rights Watch), who described 
their reasons for crossing into Cambodia as strictly 
economic and who had no complaints about their treatment 
since returning to Vietnam.  Based on her direct 
observations and understanding, the situation in the Central 
Highlands is "not essentially a refugee producing one," she 
said.  Meeting with VFM Binh, she suggested working-level 
discussions on the issues of UNHCR access to detained 
returnees, more streamlined procedures for arranging 
monitoring visits and addressing accusations of mistreatment 
when they arise.  On the subject of Khmer Krom in southern 
Vietnam, VFM Binh said that the GVN is prepared to allow 
9,700 of these individuals access to Vietnamese nationality. 
Although the Tripartite MOU has "run its course," it has 
left in place a useful framework with which the GVN also 
appears to be comfortable, she said.  End Summary. 
 
2. (SBU) During meetings with Pol/C and, separately, 
interested diplomatic representatives on April 28, Assistant 
Commissioner Feller discussed her visit to Gia Lai Province 
and subsequent meeting with Vice Foreign Minister Nguyen Phu 
Binh.  She was accompanied by:  Regional Representative 
Hasim Utkan; Jennifer Pagonis, Deputy Head of International 
Protection Section, UNHCR HQ; Mr. Jon Hoisaeter, Executive 
Assistant to Ms. Feller; and, Mr. Vu Anh Son, Hanoi Chief of 
Mission.  Assistant Commissioner Feller described her visit 
to Vietnam as an assessment of the Tripartite MOU among 
Vietnam, Cambodia and UNHCR, which she negotiated and signed 
over a year ago.  Her belief is that signing the MOU was the 
right thing to do considering its success in addressing the 
needs of ethnic minorities who had entered Cambodia and 
returned to Vietnam.  It was also the right thing to do 
because of its contribution to a considerable improvement in 
UNHCR's relations with Vietnam and, to a lesser extent, with 
Cambodia.  The MOU is not perfect, as no compromise document 
ever is, but it was also not difficult to justify, she said. 
Based on her direct observations and understanding of the 
situation, the situation in the Central Highlands is "not 
essentially a refugee producing one," she said. 
 
Gia Lai Province 
---------------- 
 
3. (SBU) During the Assistant Commissioner's two-day visit 
to Gia Lai Province, she met with the People's Committee 
chairman and six returnees, two of whom U.S. Mission 
monitoring teams had previously met.  (Note:  Vietnam Chief 
of Mission Vu Anh Son promised to provide us with further 
details, including the names of the six.  End Note.)  This 
group of six included both voluntary and involuntary 
returnees, and the UNHCR team was able to secure a number of 
private interviews.  All six returnees said that they 
departed Vietnam for Cambodia for economic reasons, Feller 
said.  They wanted to return to Vietnam because they were 
disappointed with the situation in Cambodia and missed their 
families.  None of the returnees indicated a desire to be 
resettled to the United States or elsewhere.  When asked who 
told them their economic prospects would be better in 
Cambodia, the returnees responded that "people" came to 
their village and told them.  According to Feller, neither 
religion nor land issues were raised as the "proximate 
reasons" for the six wanting to leave Vietnam. 
 
4. (SBU) None of the six indicated that they had been 
harassed or discriminated against by local authorities after 
returning to Vietnam, Feller continued.  Two of the 
individuals she met had been singled out by Human Rights 
Watch as having suffered mistreatment.  They both denied 
being mistreated and questioned the origins of these 
"rumors."  In fact, in Gia Lai, there appeared to be signs 
of "positive discrimination," in which returnees receive 
rice and other goods.  In the case of one individual, the 
local authorities had helped him to find employment at a 
State-owned rubber plantation.  In another case, the 
authorities helped a returnee to buy back the land that he 
had sold prior to leaving for Cambodia. 
 
5. (SBU) During her meeting with the Gia Lai People's 
Committee chairman, the Assistant Commissioner pressed for 
 
HANOI 00000992  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
access to one returnee who is now under detention.  The 
official would not say anything about the case save that 
this person is under investigation for "receiving money to 
take people to Cambodia."  Notably, the chairman expressed 
some frustration with the number of monitoring visits, 
Feller said.  In her briefing for the diplomatic corps, the 
Assistant Commissioner suggested that monitoring could 
indeed be disruptive to individuals who are trying to 
reintegrate and lead normal lives, but UNHCR will continue 
its monitoring with the goal of interviewing 100 percent of 
the returnees (UNHCR calculates that, over 11 missions to 
date, it has met 64 percent of the returnees). 
 
Meeting with VFM Binh 
--------------------- 
 
6. (SBU) During her "positive" meeting with Vice Foreign 
Minister Nguyen Phu Binh, the Assistant Commissioner 
suggested working-level discussions on the issues of UNHCR 
access to detained returnees, more streamlined procedures 
for arranging monitoring visits and addressing accusations 
of mistreatment when they arise.  There has to date only 
been one individual detained since his return from Cambodia, 
but because he was returned to Vietnam under the auspices of 
the MOU, UNHCR still considers him to be a person of 
concern.  VFM Binh agreed that these working-level 
discussions would be possible, she said. 
 
7. (SBU) Feller also raised with VFM Binh the issue of 
stateless Khmer Krom in southern Vietnam.  VFM Binh said 
that the GVN is prepared to allow 9,700 of these individuals 
access to Vietnamese nationality.  For its part, Cambodia 
agreed to cooperate to provide in groups or individually 
assurances that these people are not Cambodian citizens, 
Feller related. 
 
MOU Has Run Its Course 
---------------------- 
 
8. (SBU) Feller said that the Tripartite MOU "has run its 
course," but it remains a valuable and important framework 
for responding to issues in the Central Highlands.  The 
document has attained a weight at the local level beyond 
what was envisaged and remains a good tool for discussion 
and training purposes.  The Assistant Commissioner said that 
the GVN appears comfortable with the modus vivendi that is 
now in place, and UNHCR believes that it remains an 
"adequate framework" for working with the Government. 
However, UNHCR has to be on guard to ensure that people do 
not get the impression that the end of the MOU means the end 
of the problems it was created to address.
