SECTION II

UNRWA and its Role in Lebanon

YVES BESSON

Department of Contemporary History, University of Fribourg Switzerland

Following a historical presentation of UNRWA's mandate, the article examines the major problems currently facing the agency, with a focus on the situation in Lebanon. An outline of the urgent needs among the Palestinian refugee community and of the funding crisis facing the agency is given. The author then discusses the role of this 50 year old institution in the context of the Madrid Conference and the Oslo Agreements, recommends ways in which the international community can support UNRWA in this time of transition and calls for a new framework of cooperation between UNRWA and the Lebanese government
