一家美国法院以近东救济工程处作为一个联合国机构的豁免权为由,驳回了针对近东救济工程处的1美元诉讼,但没有对指称的哈马斯关系作出判断。 A U.S. court dismissed a $1B lawsuit against UNRWA, citing its immunity as a UN body, without judging alleged Hamas ties.

美国一家法院驳回了一项10亿美元的诉讼, 指控近东救济工程处在10月7日的袭击事件中援助哈马斯, 裁定该机构作为联合国实体, 豁免在美国法院的法律诉讼。 A U.S. court has dismissed a $1 billion lawsuit alleging UNRWA aided Hamas in the October 7 attacks, ruling the agency is immune from legal action in U.S. courts as a UN entity. 这项基于国际法的决定意味着法院没有评估近东救济工程处工作人员是否与哈马斯有牵连。 The decision, based on international law, means the court did not assess whether UNRWA staff were involved with Hamas. 此案由100多名以色列原告提出,其中包括受害者家属,他们指控近东救济工程处通过其资源支持哈马斯。 The case was brought by over 100 Israeli plaintiffs, including victims’ families, who accused UNRWA of supporting Hamas through its resources. 拜登行政当局认为近东救济工程处缺乏豁免权,但法官认为法院缺乏管辖权。 The Biden administration had argued UNRWA lacked immunity, but the judge found the court lacked jurisdiction. 原告计划提出上诉,因为裁决凸显了目前对近东救济工程处问责制的争议。 Plaintiffs plan to appeal, as the ruling highlights ongoing disputes over UNRWA’s accountability.
