Extract

The second part of the first session of the IRO Preparatory Commission convened on May 1, 1947, at Lausanne, Switzerland, to continue work started in February, 1947, concerning the problem of refugees and displaced persons in relation to the setting up of the International Refugee Organization. Due to cessation on June 30, 1947, of relief activities by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration and the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees, the Commission faced the immediate problem of taking over resettlement work and care of displaced persons which formerly had been handled by UNRRA and the IGC.
