I just wanted to clarify that under the convention on the status of refugees, if somebody's claiming refugee status, the fact that they don't have any papers cannot be held against them, because it may be due to the circumstances of how they left. You have to be a bit careful in just assuming that the failure to provide identification is enough to turn them back. You have to have more than that. Certainly I think we want to comply with the convention. That was my point. It's just a clarification.
