Handbook of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies UNRWA and Palestinian Refugees Para. 11 of Res. 194(III) states that the ‘refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at iv peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return.’ v UNRWA is the sole UN programme without a governing body outside the UNGA, which devotes only about one day a year discussing its annual report and budget. (Thanks to Lex Takkenberg for this point.) vi See UNGA Res. 37/120 (1982) Part (J), para. 1; UNGA Res. 49/35 (1994) Part E; UNGA Res. 61/114 (2006); Report Submitted to the Security Council by the Secretary-General in Accordance with SC Res. 605 (1987) para. 37. vii The Handbook concludes that Article1D is properly applied only in Finland, Hungary, and Norway. viii See UNGA Res. 181(II) (the Partition Resolution); UNGA Res. 194(III) (establishing UNCCP); UNGA Res. 273(III) (11 May 1949) UN Doc A/RES/273(III) (Israel’s UN membership); UNGA Res. 302(IV) (establishing UNRWA); UNGA Res. 393(V) (2 December 1950) UN Doc A/RES/393(V) (UNRWA assistance fund); UNGA Res. 394(V) (14 December 1950) UN Doc A/RES/394(V) (protection measures of the refugees’ rights, property and interests). 30
