SPECIAL REPORT: How a UN agency became implicated in acts of evil

A leading human rights raised concerns funding could soon be restored to a disgraced UN agency implicated in acts of evil, Gabriella Power reports. UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer has called on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to permanently axe funding to UNRWA amid allegations a dozen staff were involved in attacks in Israel last year. Both Mr Albanese and Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong have spoken in support of the work UNRWA does, raising concerns among experts that funding will be restored before system change or accountability occurs at the UN agency. Dozens of other countries have also pulled funding pending an investigation, including Canada, the United States, France, Germany and the UK. The Albanese Government doubled Australia’s UNRWA contributions to $20 million a year but suspended payments after the UN agency became embroiled in terrorism accusations.
