Thank you @GJFras Just wanted to stress that African countries are often asked to comply with standards liberal democracies fail to respect

@GJFras I agree! And in this challenge we can feel closer together, rather than having some setting the rules and others "forced" to follow

Well said @iginioe it is about mutual responsibility and mutual accountability #AGFVIII @UNDP

Findings not yet released after completion of investigation into tweet of photo falsely claiming Palestinian killed by IDF.

NEW YORK — The United Nations coordinator for humanitarian affairs, Valerie Amos, has confirmed to The Jerusalem Post that the investigation into a controversial Twitter posting by its staff member Khulood Badawi has been completed.

In March, Badawi, an information officer for the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Jerusalem, tweeted a photo of a Palestinian child covered in blood and falsely claimed she was killed by an IDF strike.

Badawi tweeted the following text along with the photo: “Palestine is bleeding. Another child killed by Israel... Another father carrying his child to a grave in Gaza.”

The picture, it emerged, was published in 2006 by Reuters and was of a Palestinian girl who died in an accident unrelated to Israel.

A subsequent investigation was launched by the UN Development Program, which held Badawi’s contract for employment, even though she worked for OCHA.

Amos did not release details on the investigation’s findings, stating that she was awaiting recommendations from UNDP.

Israel’s UN mission had no immediate reaction.

United Nations Ambassador Ron Prosor has in the past demanded that Badawi be fired. In July, Prosor sent Amos a letter asking for the investigation to be expedited.

Jerusalem Post staff contributed to this report.
