Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) operates one of the largest nongovernmental school systems in the Middle East. Palestine refugees in UNRWA schools are achieving higher-than-average learning outcomes in spite of the adverse circumstances they live under. This study uses a mixed methods research approach to address the complexity of the research question and its exploratory nature, namely, How do UNRWA schools continually and consistently outperform public schools? This study used the following data collection techniques: econometric techniques to analyze learning achievement data from international and national assessments; the Systems Approach for Better Education Results tools were used to assess different system components, such as teacher effectiveness, school autonomy, and student assessments; Stallings classroom observations provided a structured method to compare teachers' and students' interactions; qualitative data collected through interviews captured the lived experiences of a sample of students. Contrary to what might be expected from a resource-constrained administration serving refugee students who continually face a multitude of adversities, UNRWA students outperform public schools in the three regions-- West Bank and Gaza and Jordan-- by a year's worth of learning. The achievement is a result of the way these schools recruit, prepare, and support teachers; because of instructional practices and pedagogy in the classroom; and because of school leadership, accountability, and mutual support. This has created a distinguished learning community centered on the student. Of note: • UNRWA selects, prepares, and supports its education staff to pursue high learning outcomes. • Time-on-task is high in UNRWA schools, and is used more effectively than in public schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unfortunately, the United Nations has long faced criticism for its perceived biased and anti-Israeli stance, with actions and resolutions against Israel often seen as lacking justification. The situation with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is even more concerning. Established in 1949, UNRWA was designed to provide relief and support for Palestinian refugees displaced during the Arab-Israeli conflict. Although its original mandate was humanitarian, over time, the agency has become increasingly politicized and has faced accusations of promoting terrorism and inciting hatred against Jews. A significant concern is UNRWA's role in perpetuating the Palestinian refugee crisis. Unlike the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, which seeks to resettle refugees and find sustainable solutions, UNRWA has maintained a policy of extending refugee status from generation to generation. This approach has prolonged the suffering of Palestinian refugees and obstructed efforts toward achieving lasting peace in the region. Additionally, UNRWA has faced allegations of employing individuals with connections to terrorist organizations, including Hamas. In 2017, the United States halted funding to UNRWA due to concerns about the agency's links to terrorism, raising serious questions about its credibility and ability to operate impartially. Furthermore, UNRWA has been criticized for allegedly promoting anti-Semitism and inciting hatred against Jews. Reports suggest that UNRWA schools have taught anti-Semitic propaganda and glorified violence against Israelis. In conclusion, the situation with UNRWA is deeply troubling and raises significant concerns about the agency's capacity to fulfill its mandate neutrally and impartially.

Book excerpt: Two prominent Israeli liberals argue that for the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians to end with peace, Palestinians must come to terms with the fact that there will be no "right of return." In 1948, seven hundred thousand Palestinians were forced out of their homes by the first Arab-Israeli War. More than seventy years later, most of their houses are long gone, but millions of their descendants are still registered as refugees, with many living in refugee camps. This group—unlike countless others that were displaced in the aftermath of World War II and other conflicts—has remained unsettled, demanding to settle in the state of Israel. Their belief in a "right of return" is one of the largest obstacles to successful diplomacy and lasting peace in the region. In The War of Return, Adi Schwartz and Einat Wilf—both liberal Israelis supportive of a two-state solution—reveal the origins of the idea of a right of return, and explain how UNRWA - the very agency charged with finding a solution for the refugees - gave in to Palestinian, Arab and international political pressure to create a permanent “refugee” problem. They argue that this Palestinian demand for a “right of return” has no legal or moral basis and make an impassioned plea for the US, the UN, and the EU to recognize this fact, for the good of Israelis and Palestinians alike. A runaway bestseller in Israel, the first English translation of The War of Return is certain to spark lively debate throughout America and abroad.

This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palestinian refugee question, resulting from the events surrounding the birth of the state of Israel seventy years ago, remains one of the largest and most protracted refugee crises of the post-WWII era. Numbering over six million in the Middle East alone, Palestinian refugees' status varies considerably according to the state or territory 'hosting' them, the UN agency assisting them and political circumstances surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict these refugees are naturally associated with. Despite being foundational to both the experience of the Palestinian refugees and the resolution of their plight, international law is often side-lined in political discussions concerning their fate. This compelling new book, building on the seminal contribution of the first edition (1998), offers a clear and comprehensive analysis of various areas of international law (including refugee law, human rights law, humanitarian law, the law relating to stateless persons, principles related to internally displaced persons, as well as notions of international criminal law), and probes their relevance to the provision of international protection for Palestinian refugees and their quest for durable solutions.
