Dujarric responded by noting how Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner general of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees, "himself has said UNRWA would commission an independent review of its work to look at risk, to look at how it does its operations."
"So that's something they themselves want to do, while I think in any context I don't know how you examine people's thoughts. Right?" Dujarric said. "What is clear is that any action that contravenes the U.N., U.N. principles, that violates our rules is dealt with. And I think Mr. Lazzarini did it. Furthermore, I think it's also important to clarify something. Every year, UNRWA shares its list of staff with the host countries where it works. Right? So UNRWA works in Jordan, works in Lebanon, works in Syria."
