Compensation “Going Astray”

Hazem alsayaheen

This investigation uncovers abuses in the way funds have been disbursed by the Governing Council of the UN Compensation Commission (UNCC) under an environmental compensation programme for livestock breeders in the Jordanian desert. Allocations that were intended for use in constructing agricultural roads, to make it easier for breeders to move their livestock to pasture, have instead gone on constructing roads to private farms.
