Anne Irfan, is departmental lecturer in forced migration at the University of Oxford, released a new study entitled “Palestine at the UN: the PLO and UNRWA in the 1970s”. The study published in the Journal of Palestine studies of the University of California, examined the relationship of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) during the 1970s, the period when the PLO reached the zenith of its power in Palestinian refugee camps. The study argues that the organization approached its relationship with UNRWA as part of a broader strategy to gain international legitimacy at the UN, but at the same time, resulted in a complex set of tensions, specifically over which of the two institutions truly served and represented Palestinian refugees. It worth noting that the study based on the UN archive and the organization’s archive. In this study, the writer explained how the question of Palestine is international, not a local or a regional issue. To check the study, click here
