- W124196682 abstract "The Palestinian refugee problem lies at heart of Arab-Israeli conflict. But since 1960s, international institution charged with aiding refugees, U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in Near East (UNRWA), has resisted their in Arab host countries. It has done so by shifting to an educational mission, devising expansive redefinitions of who a refugee is, and expanding its legal mandates to protect and represent refugees. As a result, a well-intended international relief effort has been progressively undone by vagueness of its mandate, which allowed UNRWA to bend to will of U.N. General Assembly and be taken over by its own charges and by bureaucratic imperative of institutional survival. REINTEGRATION: A SHORT HISTORY The idea of was implicitly encoded into UNRWA through U.N. General Assembly (UNGA) resolution 194(m) of December 11, 1948, which stated that wishing to itturn to theft homes and live at peate with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for property of those choosing not to return.1 Those choosing not to return would presumably be resettled, and resolution took care to ensure the repatriation, and economic and social rehabilitation of refugees and payment of compensation.2 The language and stipulations of resolution 194 have been used by Palestinians and their international champions as proof of a U.N.-sanctioned right of return.3 But UNRWA was founded without prejudice to provisions of paragraph 11 of General Assembly resolution 194 (III),4 and during its early stages, attempted to avoid appearance of prejudice toward either repatriation or compensation and resettlement. But as prevailing interpretations of resolution 1 94 have changed, so too has UNRWA. The overwhelming majority of Palestinian refugees have not returned. Nor have they been reintegrated. This novel term was introduced by UNGA resolution 393 (V) of December 2, 1950, which stated that the of refugees into economic life of Near East, either by repatriation or resettlement, is essential in preparation for time when international assistance is no longer available, and for realization of conditions of peace and stability in area.5 The formal articulation of repatriation and notwithstanding, as early as 1951, was understood in diplomatic circles exclusively as resettlement.6 Refugees shared that assessment, and, along with Arab host countries, resisted it in a variety of ways, so much so that by late 1950s, reintegration, resettlement, and rehabilitation had reached a dead end. In words of 1957 UNRWA director's report: in spite of fact that many are establishing themselves in new lives, refugees collectively remain opposed to certain types of selfsupport projects which they consider would mean permanent and abandonment of hope of repatriation. They are, in general, supported in this stand by Arab host Governments. On other hand, Government of Israel has taken no affirmative action in matter of repatriation and compensation. It remains Director's opinion that, unless refugees are given choice between repatriation and compensation provided for in resolution 194 (HI), or unless some other solution acceptable to all parties is found, it would be unrealistic for General Assembly to believe that decisive progress can be accomplished by UNRWA towards reintegration of refugees into economic life of Near East, either by repatriation or resettlement in line with General Assembly resolution 393 (V) of 2 December 1950.7 SHIFT TO EDUCATION In his report for 1959, incoming UNRWA director John Davis noted that the execution of 'long-term task' of assisting refugees to become self-supporting requires certain conditions which so far have not prevailed. …" @default.
