UNRWA's Not-So-Independent Investigators
(Wall Street Journal) Editorial - Even the UN has felt obliged to investigate the evidence that keeps emerging that the UN relief agency for Palestinians in Gaza has been assisting Hamas. But the supposedly independent investigation of UNRWA doesn't inspire confidence. At least two of the three agencies selected to conduct an independent review have made statements aligning themselves against Israel or defending UNRWA. These include the Danish Institute for Human Rights, Norway's Chr. Michelsen Institute, and former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna. It's hard to imagine these people and groups providing a fair assessment of UNRWA's links to Hamas.
