NZFOI: There is only one group of people for which the UN devotes an entire refugee agency, it is commonly called UNRWA. The other UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR has been successful in resettling refugees from conflicts and displacement elsewhere. The UNRWA has been accused of becoming part of the problem in the Middle East Conflict as its incentives to resettle its refugees appear to be outweighed by its incentive to perpetuate itself.
(UNITED NATIONS) — A confidential report by the ethics office of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees claims its top management including Commissioner General Pierre Krahenbuhl “have engaged in sexual misconduct, nepotism, retaliation, discrimination and other abuses of authority.”
The report, obtained Monday by The Associated Press, alleges these acts were carried out “for personal gain, to suppress legitimate dissent, and to otherwise achieve their personal objectives, jeopardizing the credibility and interests of the agency.”
