The review committee, headed by former French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, and commissioned by the United Nations with the participation of three research institutes, concluded that UNRWA follows a more advanced approach to neutrality than any other similar international or non-governmental body.
The report confirmed that it developed a framework for neutrality in 2017, while it has developed and updated a large number of policies, mechanisms and measures to ensure compliance with the principle of neutrality, respond promptly and appropriately to allegations or indicators of violations, and define and apply disciplinary sanctions on employees who are proven to have violated the principles of neutrality.
