In the\u00a0meantime, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency\u00a0for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA) must continue to receive our full support in the context of\u00a0the suspension of the American contribution. For its part, France has doubled its contribution to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA this year.<\/p>\n<p>\/\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I have two final points. I thank the representative of France for having mentioned the necessary support<br \/>\nto our sister agency the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East<br \/>\n(Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA). It is very important. The stability of the\u00a0region also hinges on the possibility for the refugee<br \/>\npopulation, assisted by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA, to remain in schools\u00a0and to have access to jobs and health services. As a former Commissioner General, I not only thank him\u00a0for that but also because the countries that are affected by that unresolved issue are those that are also hosting Syrian refugees. It is a combination that needs to be kept in mind in providing support to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA.<\/p>\n<p>\/\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\/\u2026 Briefing by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees The President: In accordance with rule 39 of the Council\u2019s provisional rules of procedure, I invite Mr. Filippo Grandi, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, to participate in this meeting.
