Dr. Ardi Imseis

The short answer is yes. The western countries with big economies have an obligation commensurate with how much their outputs are. We'll see how the international community responds to that.

The Chair Liberal Fayçal El-Khoury

Thank you very much.

On behalf of this subcommittee—the chair, members, staff and interpreters—we would like to thank you all for being with us and for participating in this meeting regarding displaced persons inside and outside of their countries, internationally.

Thank you very much.

Now we will suspend for five minutes, please.
