Article 1D of the 1951 Refugee Convention singles out individuals who receive aid from UN agencies, and specifically applies to Palestinian refugees receiving aid from the UN Refugee and Works Agency (UNRWA).This paper shows that the haphazard interpretation of Article 1D has often left Palestinian refugees without protection and that this lack of protection has been exacerbated for Palestinians fleeing the crisis in Syria. One solution would be to enable the UNHCR to take on some of the protective functions that used to be provided by the nowdefunct UN Conciliation Commission for Palestine.
