Afghanistan
This report reflects the findings and recommendations of an early April 1988 week-long study mission in Pakistan by members of the US Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Affairs to assess the Afghan refugee situation there. The mission met with various officials of the Pakistani Government, and with staff of international organizations and voluntary agencies.

It outlines in particular the international programme of humanitarian assistance to the Afghan refugees, and the new problems and challenges to the international community posed by the major repatriation effort.
