Bela Karoly, former trainer of Nadia Comaneci and of the Rumanian
national gymnastic team cited as one of the reasons for his defec-
tion in March 1981, his long dissatisfaction with the Rumanian
State Central Federation of Athletics. He could not tolerate
chronic interference by the federation with his training methods,
including those for Ms. Comaneci: NYT, April 12, 1981.

The East German swimming champion, Renate Vogel-Heinrich, defected
because "we were guinea pigs. In East Germany sport is the means
to an end. Successes were as exactly planned as the production of
People's factory": The Daily Telegraph, September 19, 1979, p. 36e.
Jan Czeberkus, a Polish sailor who jumped ship in Cleveland, Ohio,
early August 1986, declared that the terrible living conditions and
local and economic pressures forced him to defect: TWTI, August 7,
1986, p. 4A.

This basic relationship between a state and its citizens was expres-
sed clearly by Justice Iredell in a Supreme Court decision of 1795
in the case Talbot v. Jansen: "... As every man is entitled to
claim rights in society, which it is the duty of the society to
protect; he, in turn, is under a solemn obligation to discharge
all the duties faithfully, which he owes, as a citizen, to the
society of which he is a member...": 3 US (3 Dall. ) 162,

(58) The INA of 1952 as amended, does not make any difference
any longer between a person inside or outside his country
of nationality or habitual residence. But the person who
is recognized by the President of the USA as a refugee
inside his country, is only so under special circumstances,
INA of 1952, sec. 101, (42), (B).

The 1951 UN Convention on Refugees and the 1967 UN Protocol
on Refugees apply only to the people outside the boundaries
of their own nation, SEE: Kathleen Newland, Refugees: The
New International Politics of Displacement, Worldwatch

DC, p.9.

Prior to the Refugee Act of 1980, a refugee must have fled
from the country of his nationality or habitual residence,

of the Declaration on Territorial Asylum. The latter was
adopted by unanimous consent by the General Assembly on
December 14, 1967. A declaration does not have the binding
value of a treaty. It expresses principles and serves as
guidelines for national policies of UN member countries.

This conservative definition has been criticized for its
limitations. A more broader definition has been elaborated
by the Organization of African Unity in its Convention on
Refugees adopted in September 1969. This definition extends
beyond the persecuted individual to whole groups of people
fleeing from dangerous circumstances, SEE: Kathleen Newland,

50 USC 403h. This section was enacted as part of Act
dated June 20, 1949, known as the Central Intelligence Agency
Act of 1949 (also known as Public Law 110 ).

No alien can claim a right to enter the United States. Congress
has sovereign and plenary power to determine which alien shall
come. And even after he is permitted to enter, the alien
acquires no vested right to remain, since he is subject to
expulsion on grounds fixed by Congress, SEE:

Gordon & Rosenfield, Immigration ..., 1986, p. 1-164 (sec.1.32 ).
Art. 1,3 of the UN Declaration on lerritorial Asylum reads:

An estimated 800,000 Crimean Tatars were deported en masse
to Central Asia in May 1944 as potential traitors. They
presently are still denied the land they called home for cen-
turies. Though formally rehabilitated in 1967, Tatars seeking
restitution of their farm land on the Black Sea are, with a
few exceptions, forcibly blocked from returning to it.
