Keith Best: I am so old that I remember the Vietnamese boat people; I was involved with them. I remember the Geneva agreement, whereby countries agreed to take so many from Hong Kong and so on. Now, it would probably be impossible to do that on a global scale with several million people, as some 16 million people or so are at risk in the world. Nevertheless, something approaching that way of dealing with the matter will, ultimately, be needed to have proper burden sharing among countries around the world and deal with those who are in need of protection.
