1. Introduction <\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is the relief, peace and development agency whose constituents are Mennonite and Brethren in Christ Churches in the United States and Canada. MCC was founded in 1920. It collaborates with other Mennonite, Christian, faith-based and secular nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and governmental organizations in seventy countries to overcome poverty, conflict, oppression, and natural disaster in partnership with local NGOs. The Mennonite Central Committee United Nations Office represents these commitments at the United Nations and carries United Nations commitments and concerns back to its constituency for education and action. <\/p><\/div>\n

3. Co-operation <\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

…  MCC cooperated with UNRWA in our work in relief, education and with children in the Occupied Territories of Palestine (areas under the administration of the Israeli government). MCC also organized educational tours to that region and we brought delegations to the UNOCHA office in Jerusalem for briefings. MCC supported two local NGOs: the Badil Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights and the Zochrot Association, which seek to implement United Nations General Assembly Resolution 194. We have also supported the Stop the Wall Campaign, an initiative which has sought adherence to the International Court of Justice on the Separation Barrier. … <\/p><\/div>\n
