UNRWA Receives PAM Prize for Excellence in the Mediterranean <\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

East Jerusalem, 27 October 2009<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

UNRWA is honoured to have been awarded the PAM Prize for Excellence in the Mediterranean. The PAM Prize is awarded each year by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean to individuals, organisations or institutions who contribute through their actions to establishing bridges among the peoples of the region so as to foster understanding, mutual respect, socio-economic cooperation, political dialogue, confidence building and conflict solutions. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The prize was awarded at the IV Plenary Session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean where delegates were presented with a thorough overview of UNRWA’s activities by the Agency’s Commissioner-General Karen Koning Abuzayd.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

In her speech the Commissioner-General emphasised that the longer the international community lingers over achieving a solution to the conflict, the more license is lent to the erosion of the building blocks of a Palestinian State. This, in turn, makes the likelihood of a solution that will satisfy objective requirements of a just and lasting peace less feasible. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

"The current search for a negotiated solution should be imbued with fresh urgency and inspired by innovative, principled approaches. It is time to work together to reverse trends with a view to creating a new dynamic for inclusive, all-encompassing dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians as a means towards the end of promoting a negotiated solution." continued Mrs Abuzayd.<\/p><\/div>\n
