Delegates from six nations at a conference on refugees in central Africa agreed this month to set up national commissions for refugees where they do already not exist and on legislation to help them.

The announcement came in a statement released on October 27 in Kinshasa by lawmakers from the DR Congo, Angola, the Congo-Brazzaville, the Central African Republic, Gabon and Zambia.

The meeting in the DRC capital was organised by European Parliamentarians for Africa (AWEPA), an association based in the Netherlands which includes about 2,000 MPs and former MPs from some 20 European parliaments.

Delegates said their country's governments "would work for respect for the territorial integrity of states and of borders in line with the charter of the OAU and that of the UN".
