In 1985, he taught an international relations course on Issues in Domestic and Global Refugee Policy,' at Tufts University, and reviewed a treatise on the the application of international law to refugee situations, for the United Nations Annual Review of Population Law. Mr. Golub currently is Program Officer for Law and Government at The Asia Foundation. The research, views and conclusions presented here are offered purely in his private capacity, and are not intended to represent those of the Asia Foundation. In preparing this report, Mr. Golub drew on research conducted during his trips to Thailand, including interviews with several dozen Cambodians in Thailand's Khao I Dang Holding Center and in camps along the Thai/Cambodian border. He consulted more than twenty knowledgeable sources--either through interviews or through documents they prepared--regarding the composition of the Cambodian pupulation which the United States has rejected for resettlement as not being refugees and the process by which they have been denied that status by U.S. authorities. Those sources include scholars, former United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees officers, relief officials, journalists, and other individuals familiar with the situation. Some cannot be identified, due to their current positions.
