Book Description
This book, originally published in 1971, traces the history of how the Palestinian refugees became a UN charge and the status and subsequent activities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) until 1971. The author begins with the activities of the Conciliation Commission, established by the General Assembly in 1948, and its attempts to solve the refugee problem through repatriation, compensation and resettlement. Professor Buering then examines the constitutional origins of UNRWA and compares these origins with certain other UN bodies constituted under Article 22 of the United Nations Charter in terms of structure, policy determination and mode of operation. In his analysis of how UNRWA adapted to local circumstances, the author analyzes corporate and staff immunity from territorial authority to show UNRWA's struggle to keep clear of the fiscal regulations of individual governments and to maintain effective control over personnel. The study also focuses on the Agency's programs in economic rehabilitation, relief and health, and education. The last chapter deals with UNRWA's budgetary procedures and relations with contributing governments. Appendices include a Proposal, Resolution and Convention relating to the Agency and its activities.
UNRWA and Palestinian Refugees
Author: Sari Hanafi
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134704291
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Exploring the evolution of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), this book fills a lacuna in literature on the agency. UNRWA and Palestinian Refugees employs recent fieldwork in order to analyse challenges in programmes and service delivery, protection, camp governance, community participation, and camp improvement and reconstruction. The chapters examine the way UNRWA is adapting to a changing social, political and economic context, mostly within urban settings – a paradigmatic shift from understanding the Agency’s role as simply a provider of relief and services to one comprehensively supporting the human development of Palestinian refugees. Examining the refugee debate using new disciplines and research frameworks, this collection aims to emphasise the centrality of the Palestinian refugee issue for Middle East peace-making and to contribute a better understanding of a unique agency. This book will be a useful aid for students and researchers with an interest in Middle East Studies, Politics, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
