"Mr President, there is no doubt that there are still two Communist dictatorships in existence. By their very nature, Communist regimes can be nothing other than dictatorships. I refer to Cuba and North Korea. The world must do everything in its power to eliminate both of these Communist regimes.
Today we are discussing the plight of refugees from North Korea. They are not economic migrants. We are perfectly well aware that countries often wish to protect themselves against economic migrants. The return of economic migrants, however painful, just means returning them to their unfortunate economic situation. Returning political refugees, however, exposes them to the worst possible danger. Consequently, the first thing the international community ought to do is to prevent even a single refugee from being returned to North Korea. The fate that awaits them there is so cruel that it defies the imagination. That should be the foremost aim of all of our activities."@en1
