dc.description.abstractThe Orderly Departure Programme (ODP) is regarded as a Cold War success story of refugee management, aiding the resettlement of 638,900 Vietnamese. Western sympathy for anti-communist refugees initially sparked solidarity, but led eventually to compassion fatigue, disenfranchising the practice of resettlement. However, current scholarship overlooks the fact that the ODP installed a moratorium on departures from Vietnam. I use newly discovered archival material and methods to show how the international refugee organization UNHCR undermined refugee protection, by limiting the basic human right to freedom of movement, to accommodate host states - particularly the UK and Hong Kong -in reducing responsibility for resettling refugees.-
dc.description.sponsorshipThis research was funded by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO), project grants 1130320N and 1291524N, and Grant for a Long Research Stay Abroad V410119N. This article would not exist without the wonderful conference convened by Dr. Bastiaan Bouwman. I would like to thank him and all conference participants for the stimulating debates on refugee history. My supervisor, Prof. Dr. Idesbald Goddeeris helped me to deliver this research in the first place – I owe him my gratitude forever. Furthermore, I would like to thank my research assistant, Prof. Dr. Trinh Van Vinh, who facilitated the research in Vietnam. Finally, I would like to thank the two anonymous reviewers, whose comments have helped to refine my argument.-
