		Arthur C. Helton ’71, an attorney and human rights activist who devoted his professional life to assisting and protecting refugees seeking asylum in America and abroad, was killed in the August 19 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad.
		Helton was the director of peace and conflict studies and a highly esteemed senior fellow for refugee studies and preventive action at the Council on Foreign Relations, a Washington, D.C.–based think tank.
		Helton’s commitment to helping refugees win asylum in the United States earned him immediate successes in the field, the first being the creation of an innovative and now much-replicated program under which lawyers at the most prestigious firms in the United States, working pro bono, are connected with refugees seeking asylum.

		Helton began by noting that there is a deep ambivalence amongst Americans on immigration.
		Helton argued that it is instructive how little the meeting was able to conclude about this complex phenomenon.
		Helton argued that immigration is therefore, essentially a values question and it is hard to manage because Americans are so ambivalent on the topic.

		Arthur Helton: This has been a terrific collaboration and I have to say the level and quality of the conversation is something that I’ve certainly learned from.
		Arthur Helton: I think mainly I’m just going to commiserate with the caller because this is a graphic illustration of one of the elements of terrible unfairness in US immigration policy.
		Arthur Helton: Well, one thing that comes to mind to me is there is and has been a small provision in the immigration laws for visas for those sponsored by the US intelligence community.

	The Journal of Humanitarian Assistance
		In Helton's parlance, prevention is not merely preventing refugees from entering neighbouring countries, but actually redressing the proximate and underlying causes of displacement and building states with order, stability and justice.
		Helton's most acerbic critique is reserved for ‘serious bureaucratic tensions in the UN system that influence the way humanitarian action is organised’ (p.204).
		Helton's greatest service is to impart a sense of urgency and tangibility to the humanitarian reform debate.

		Arthur Helton: That seems to precede a very strong case for the notion that the American identity is more about change than about stasis, more about multiple identities or dual identities than about the notion of a single nation state.
		Arthur Helton: I suppose you could limit that risk by enfranchising those who have resident status in the United States, as opposed to citizenship, if you really are trying to profile the backlog and the problems with achieving citizenship in the United States in a timely fashion.
		Arthur Helton: You know, if you really looked at the underlying principles of any immigration policy, you would see a tension between the broad universal notions of human rights, the rights of individuals to leave any country, including his or her own.

		Arthur Helton: You know, I wonder if in the course of our conversation over the last few days, if we haven’t almost irrefutably established that whatever impulses there are to generosity in American immigration and refugee policy, there also exist less-benign motives than the ones we proclaim on July 4.
		Arthur Helton: Utrice, I wanted to pick up for a moment on a question you posed before our break on the ways in which our refugee policy more generally can be used as a substitute for a higher, a more justice oriented policy or even a more direct political policy.
		Arthur Helton: I have detected among the voluntary agencies a kind of bashfulness on this issue because of the costs and refugees are cited as the one category in the immigration debate that is not very profitable.

		Arthur Helton: Yes Utrice, I think we have probably eloquently established New York’s historical and current receptivity to immigrants, and in some ways distinguished New York from so many other places in the country where anti-immigrant sentiments seem to be normal in local politics.
		Arthur Helton: There does seem to be a disconnect between the high rhetoric of the pro-immigration statements of the Mayor of the City of New York, and the uncontested arguments of politicians on the national level which emphatically state that the nation’s interests are found in placing limits on immigration.
		Arthur Helton: Let me first say that I don’t really quarrel with the basic point that you made, that the predominant motives for those who immigrate are not to acquire access to public assistance.
