2:00PM – 3:15PM Seminar Track A, Grand Ballroom - Peter Gallo
The UN in Gaza - An Open Source Expose into UNRWA and Hamas
Peter Gallo is qualified to practice law in three countries and spent 18 years in Asia as a corporate
investigator and consultant specializing in anti-money-laundering/counter terrorist financing before
joining the UN as an investigator in OIOS – the Office of Internal Oversight Services – which has been.
His “claim to fame” there is that OIOS management tried to question his competence and instructed
him – officially and in writing – that as an investigator he must “never ask questions just to satisfy his
curiosity…..”

More that ten years on – this is a story that still earns him free drinks.

At the time, however, the Organizations refusal to recognize there might be something slightly strange about such a
directive sparked a chain of events that resulted in his leaving the Organization, and he has since been outspoken in
his public criticism of the corruption in the Organization. He has been quoted extensively in the press, appeared in a
number of television documentaries and testified in front of a congressional committee.
He speaks publicly on the need for serious reform of the UN if the Organization is even to survive.

In January 2024, the UN announced that OIOS was going to investigate the information from the Israeli intelligence
services that identified 12 UN staff members as terrorists who took part in the 7 October attacks on Israeli civilians.
In an Op-Ed published in the Wall Street Journal, Peter predicted that that investigation would achieve nothing and
simply be a cover-up; something that he was subsequently able to confirm, entirely from open source information.
