The return to a safe third country will affect, at the most optimistic estimate, 10 percent of claimants and, likely, far fewer. Further, the numbers of claimants would probably have been reduced by twice as much if legislative measures had been introduced which had the support of most refugee support groups.","PeriodicalId":303483,"journal":{"name":"The Netherlands and World War I","volume":"1 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132973280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
