摘要：

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA or "the Agency") was established as a subsidiary organ of the General Assembly in 1949 and commenced operations in 1950. The Agency's mandate has evolved since its establishment in response to the sometimes dramatic developments in the political, operational, and financial context. After considering the meaning of the term "mandate" and how UNRWA's mandate is derived, this article sets out the content of UNRWA's contemporary mandate by addressing the following questions: To whom does UNRWA's mandate extend? Where is UNRWA mandated to act? For which activities? Until when does UNRWA's mandate extend? Particular attention is devoted to the evolution of the protection and human development aspects of the Agency's mandate.
