Christian Saunders, a veteran British UN diplomat, has been appointed as the officer in charge of the agency for the interim period.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swissinfo.ch\/eng\/mismanagement-allegations_swiss-unrwa-boss-said-to-have-created--toxic-work-environment-\/45139970\">Swiss Broadcasting Corporation<\/a>, the conduct report charged UNRWA\u2019s top management with nepotism, discrimination, and sexual misconduct. It specifically highlighted Kr\u00e4henb\u00fchl\u2019s appointment of his mistress as a \u201cSpecial Advisor\u201d, a post he created specifically for her. This post was funded by the Swiss Foreign Affairs Ministry from 2015 to 2018, included salary and travel expenses.<\/p>\n<p>The ethics probe also scrutinized the conduct of officials who left the agency after denying the allegations. It referenced abuses such as a senior aide using her influence to secure her husband employment at the agency and another where a top aide was accused of abusing his authority by mistreating staff.<\/p>\n<p>The probe followed the United States\u2019 decision in 2018 to halt its contribution of $360 million per year to UNRWA, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2019\/11\/unrwa-replaces-boss-pending-outcome-misconduct-inquiry-191106100652220.html\">Al Jazeera<\/a>. Several donor countries, including Switzerland and Belgium, suspended funding to UNRWA over the recent allegations. The agency provides support to 5.5 million Palestinian refugees, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2019\/nov\/06\/pierre-krahenbuhl-steps-down-head-un-agency-palestinian-refugees-investigation\">The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These scandals are bad news for UNRWA, which is already under criticism by American and Israeli governments. However, Kr\u00e4henb\u00fchl denies the allegations, claiming that the investigation itself was a political campaign designed to undermine the agency, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2019\/11\/unrwa-chief-agency-victim-campaign-undermine-191107143856966.html\">Al Jazeera<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have rejected these allegations from the start and will continue to do so,\u201d he said to Swiss broadcaster RTS. &#8220;There is no corruption, fraud or mismanagement of aid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In his resignation letter, Kr\u00e4henb\u00fchl said that he was \u201cabove the politics that governed the entire process\u201d and resigned \u201cin the firm belief that this is in the best interest of the Palestine refugees, of my family and myself,\u201d as reported by Al Jazeera. He also denied, \u201cthe unfounded allegation that I entertained a romantic relationship with a staff member.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kr\u00e4henb\u00fchl\u2019s resignation comes three months after a July <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2019\/07\/ethics-report-accuses-unrwa-leadership-abuse-power-190726114701787.html\">Al Jazeera<\/a> report revealed a confidential internal ethics report accusing Kr\u00e4henb\u00fchl and his inner circle of &#8220;abuses of authority for personal gain, to suppress legitimate dissent and to otherwise achieve their personal objectives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastmonitor.com\/20191108-israel-unrwa-chiefs-resignation-proves-unrwa-must-close\/\">Middle East Monitor<\/a>, Israel renewed its calls for the humanitarian agency to be shut down and to end its support for Palestine refugees following Kr\u00e4henb\u00fchl\u2019s resignation. UNRWA was established in 1949 to provide relief and protection for more than 700,000 Palestinians displaced from what is now Israel, during the Arab-Israeli War. Although the relief agency runs schools, provides healthcare, and other social services to more than 5 million refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, it faces increasing criticism from Israel, the White House, and pro-Israel lawmakers, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2019\/11\/06\/un-aid-chief-quits-investigation-palestinian-refugee-program-pierre-krahenbuhl\/\">Foreign Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Whether these allegations reflect misconduct and power politics in the UNRWA or the US-Israeli agenda to hinder the agency is debatable. Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/Middle-East\/Trump-administration-to-Post-White-House-was-right-about-UNRWA-corruption-607197\">The Jerusalem Post<\/a> reports that even so, the future of UNRWA is uncertain: the agency\u2019s spokeswoman says that UNRWA still needs $89 million to keep operating until the end of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) resigned last Wednesday in light of an inquiry into corruption and misconduct allegations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4562,"featured_media":8265,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1810,382,1576,388],"tags":[455,494,858,918,1495],"class_list":["post-8264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-november-2019","category-international-news","category-1576","category-mid-east","tag-palestine","tag-refugees","tag-the-united-nations","tag-middle-east","tag-unrwa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
