UNRWA was established on 8 December, 1949 to deal with the needs of the Arab refugees from the 1948–49 Arab-Israeli war and maintain them until their return to their homes is the former Palestine. The Arab rejection of UNGAR 194 due to its “implied recognition of Israel” in the condition that direct negotiations between the parties would determine international borders and the terms of a permanent peace replacing the 1949 Rhodes Armistice Agreements.

I'd say the reason for dictatorships diverting attention at the UN away from their own transgressions is self preservation cos we all know what happens to dictators and the gun toting regimes that keep them in power when they are disposed/overthrown. It's usually not good, prison, assets stripped and/or they escape to some third world country, whereas in a democracy, leaders who are thrown out usually get a cushy job in private industry or retire to their ranches, beachside apartments, or in the case of Australia often sit around on the back benches of Parliament still collecting a government wage.
