UNRWA Under Scrutiny: IHRC Tasks UN on Transparency, Accountability.

In light of recent allegations involving the employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestine Refugees, Near East in the Hamas attack on Israel, it is important to emphasize the role of transparency and accountability of the UN’s actions.

These allegations, which led to the suspension of UNRWA funding by several countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Italy, and the United Kingdom, underline the need for a thorough investigation. Such actions are crucial not only to maintain the international community’s trust in UN organizations but also to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches those in need without violating human rights and security principles.

Rafał Marcin Wasik, Secretary-General of the International Human Rights Commission-IHRC, expresses concern over these reports, emphasizing that they should be thoroughly investigated before any conclusions are drawn. He also stresses that organizations like UNRWA are essential in providing humanitarian assistance and that their work should not be undermined by unconfirmed accusations.

Wasik calls for support of the UN in its efforts to protect human rights, emphasizing that any situation requiring investigation should be seen as an opportunity to strengthen internal processes and increase transparency in actions.

This article aims not only to draw attention to a specific case involving UNRWA but also to highlight the general importance of integrity, transparency, and accountability within the UN and its agencies. This is crucial for maintaining the trust of the international community and the effectiveness of the mission of this global organization.

In this sense, human rights education at secondary school levels helps make informed knowledge about human rights where students can boldly contribute to the protection of human rights and support communities and societies where the human rights of all are valued and respected.

This is true because the international community has increasingly expressed consensus on the crucial contribution of human rights education (HRE) to the realization of human rights as well as to the long-term prevention of human rights abuses and violent conflicts.

Interestingly, provisions on HRE, and in particular within the school system, have been incorporated into many international instruments, including the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the UNESCO Convention Against Discrimination in Education, and the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action.

Therefore in the school system, HRE is an important component of the right to education, as it enables the education system to fulfill its fundamental aims of promoting the full development of the human personality and appreciation of human dignity, strengthening respect for human rights and of delivering a quality education for all.

Similarly, in 2004, the international community launched the World Programme for Human Rights Education (2005–ongoing) to advance the implementation of HRE programs in all sectors and as a follow-up to the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995–2004), and decided to focus its first phase (2005–2009) on the integration of HRE in the primary and secondary school systems.

In my final submission, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to implore the national authorities responsible for Nigeria school system to integrate HRE in our schools as it contributes to improving the effectiveness of the education system as a whole, which in turn contributes to a country’s economic, social and political development and provide:

1. Improved quality of learning achievements by promoting child-centred and participatory teaching and learning practices and processes, as well as a new role for the teaching profession;

2. Increased access to and participation in schooling by creating a human rights-based learning environment that is inclusive and welcoming and fosters universal values, equal opportunities, respect for diversity, and non-discrimination;

3. A contribution to social cohesion and conflict prevention by supporting the social and emotional development of the child and by introducing democratic citizenship and values.

With this achieved, we may hope that they, in turn, would play their role in keeping the light of justice, freedom, and peace shining for future generations.

Once again, I thank you all for coming, and may we have a fruitful session of discussions and enlightenment at this program.
