Israel violates UN Convention on Privileges and Immunities: UNRWA

The article from MSN discusses a report by the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) which claims that Israel has violated the UN Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations. According to the report, Israeli authorities have imposed restrictions on UNRWA's operations, including movement and access restrictions for UN staff, interference with UNRWA's humanitarian activities, and the imposition of taxes on UNRWA's fuel supplies. These actions are seen as contravening the legal protections afforded to UN agencies and their personnel under international law. The report also highlights incidents where UNRWA staff were detained, interrogated, and in some cases, subjected to physical violence. UNRWA has called for Israel to respect its obligations under international law to ensure the agency can carry out its humanitarian mission effectively.
