The "UN Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories" (hmmm.. the UNSCIIPAHRPPOAOT?) is trying to gather information on the situation in the Occupied Territories, in light of recent reports - particularly in Gaza, concerning the Palestinian economy, the impact of the separation wall on the human rights of Palestinians, and the condition of the Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons and detention centers.
Good.
Only the way they're doing this... by interviewing second hand sources while they comfortably sit in Amman, Jordan.
I don't know whether it's because they're not allowed by UN regulations to come to the dangerous dangerous locations that are Israel and Palestine, or because the Israelis won't let them in.
In either case - gotta love the UN...
Go, UNSCIIPAHRPPOAOT, go go, go!
(UPDATE: turns out it's because " Since its establishment, the Special Committee has repeatedly been denied cooperation by the Government of Israel or access to the occupied territories."

UNSCIIPAHRPPOAOT -- LMAO!!!!!
It's the same thing for the UNDP in Irak, they also work form Jordan, which doesn't prevent them from doing a good job:

htur -- maybe. But they have a good reason not to work in Iraq - because it's dangerous and the UN had their building blown up in Baghdad; in Palestine though, it's because they don't have the cojones to stand up to Israel and demand to be let it. And that's disgusting - and I'm not even blaming the Israelis.
