On 11 December 1948 the General Assembly discussed Bernadotte's report and placed a non-binding resolve: "that refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbour should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date."

Famous quotes containing the words positions and/or return:

    The season developed and matured. Another year’s installment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    We wished our two souls
    might return like gulls
    to the rock. In the end,
    the water was too cold for us.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
