6. Recommendations Based on the above BADIL Resource Center and the Global Palestinian Refugee and Internally Displaced Persons Network (GPRN) make the below recommendations. To UNRWA and Its Leadership UNRWA must not enable its own dismantlement and therefore, it must: 1. Reject being redefined as purely humanitarian. The Agency must not be reduced to a purely humanitarian actor. Its role stems from the international community’s legal and political responsibility for the displacement of Palestinian refugees and remains inseparable from the pursuit of justice and accountability, including the implementation of UNGA Resolution 194. 2. Refuse policies that fragment the refugee body or formalize withdrawal through outsourcing or transition schemes. 3. Demand UN protection from Israeli regime attacks as legal violations, not just humanitarian concerns. 4. Ensure refugees have a voice in all strategic decisions—through field offices, unions, and youth bodies. 5. Reassert the Agency’s mandate across all UN forums and resist pressures to depoliticize or technocratize refugee rights. UNRWA’s collapse would sever the last institutional link between Palestinian refugees and international responsibility toward them on one hand, and their rights under international law on another hand. 19
