Report accuses U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees of sexual misconduct, nepotism and much more

[Shaul]

An internal ethics report has alleged mismanagement and abuses of authority at the highest levels of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees even as the organisation faced an unprecedented crisis after US funding cuts.

AFP has obtained a copy of the report which describes "credible and corroborated" allegations of serious ethical abuses, including involving UNRWA's top official, Commissioner-General Pierre Krahenbuhl.

It says the allegations include senior management engaging in "sexual misconduct, nepotism, retaliation, discrimination and other abuses of authority, for personal gain, to suppress legitimate dissent, and to otherwise achieve their personal objectives."

May G-d bless the Palestinians. They have had more than their share of troubles.

Such abuse and misconduct by a UN agency is very sad, terrible, but not surprising at all. It appears to be common around the world.

I've not truly understood any part of what happens in that area at all.

It says the allegations include senior management engaging in "sexual misconduct, nepotism, retaliation, discrimination and other abuses of authority, for personal gain, to suppress legitimate dissent, and to otherwise achieve their personal objectives."

Apparently the general is not the best of managers and has favored friends in job selection and used his position to get a girlfriend.

I don't see anything here about child predators or widespread dysfunction. The UN did have a situation at least once where relief workers were abusing children, but that was in a different country and years ago.
