text: him. Just as problems changed, however, so must their solutions, and it would be wrong to allow increasing transparency in UNHCR operations to limit the High Commissioner's flexibility in dealing with new problems. 62. In the short terra, palliatives rather than solutions to refugee problems were needed and there was no need to be apologetic on that score, in view of UNHCR's proud record of•international protection and immediate assistance to new refugees. In the medium term, there was the need to provide continuing, albeit still temporary, support for refugees in the countries of asylum, which mass flows had rendered a difficult task. In the longer term, it was necessary to think of "durable solutions", a label that covered a dilemma between early resettlement in third countries, on the one hand, and waiting for repatriation to the country of origin, on the other. 63. Both of those options could be contemplated only when the conditions were ripe, since premature resettlement could rule out the better solution of repatriation. Resettlement had become increasingly difficult in recent years, since it involved vast costs in financial, human and social terms. Repatriation was therefore being seen ever more clearly as the best solution, particularly where massive refugee flows were concerned. However, it had to be entirely voluntary, which meant that the root causes of the original refugee flows had to have been very largely removed. In that connection, the High Commissioner, and the Governments of the two countries concerned in the current operation to repatriate Ethiopian refugees voluntarily from Djibouti, were to be congratulated; she ventured to hope, however, that in reflecting on UNHCR's role the High Commissioner would substitute for the image of a catalyst, that of a goad or prod, since the latter was what Governments needed.
