On 9 & 10 December we commemorate the anniversaries of the #GenocideConvention & #UDHR.

While these documents were signed 76 years ago the work the international community must do to uphold the aspirations outlined in both treaties is far from over.

Earlier this year @GCR2P sat down with Jonathan Fowler of @UNRWA to discuss how critical the agency is to providing aid and services to Palestinians trapped in Gaza and the increasing threats against their work. His points seem even more pressing now https://t.co/RPZQJgaQTf

[Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini]

The vote by the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) against @UNRWA this evening is unprecedented and sets a dangerous precedent. It opposes the UN Charter and violates the State of Israel’s obligations under international law. 

This is the latest in the ongoing campaign to discredit UNRWA and delegitimize its role towards providing human-development assistance and services to #Palestine Refugees.

These bills will only deepen the suffering of Palestinians, especially in #Gaza where people have been going through more than a year of sheer hell.

It ⁠will deprive over 650,000 girls & boys there from education, putting at risk an entire generation of children.

These bills increase the suffering of the Palestinians & are nothing less than collective punishment.

Putting an end to UNRWA & its services will not strip the Palestinians from their refugee status. That status is protected by another UN General Assembly resolution until a fair and lasting solution is found to the plight of the Palestinians.

Failing to push back these bills will weaken our common multilateral mechanism established after World War 2.

This should be a concern to all.
