"Het SCP maakt in het eerder geciteerde rapport terechte kanttekeningen bij het vluchtelingenverdrag: ,,Het uit 1951 daterende verdrag is opgesteld in een tijd dat de wereld er aanmerkelijk anders uitzag dan thans, al was het maar doordat sindsdien de opkomst van de massacommunicatie en de luchtvaart de mentale en fysieke afstand tot de westerse wereld hebben doen verschrompelen. Vermoedelijk is ook niet voorzien dat de mensensmokkel tot een omvangrijke mondiale bedrijfstak zou uitgroeien."
