"a distinction must be drawn between acts of mindless terror...and acts committed in the course of a war of national liberation." Palestinian violence is the second kind ... analogous to "the German occupation resisted by European countries in the Second World War." John Dugard, Human Rights Council, June 16, 2008

The only UN special rapporteur with a permanent mandate.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)

There is one UN refugee agency just for Palestinian refugees. And one refugee agency assisting 59 million people (2017) in the rest of the world.

UNRWA labels Palestinians "refugees" who are "the descendants of the original Palestine refugees."

UNHCR requires refugees to be those with "a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion."

Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories

The only UN "human rights" committee composed of members representing states - with no claim to be independent experts.

The Special Committee is under the jurisdiction of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
