GENEVA (AP) â The top U.N. human rights body on Thursday passed a resolution aimed to intensify scrutiny of Israel s treatment of Palestinians, after the U.N. rights chief said Israeli forces may have committed war crimes and faulted the militant group Hamas for violations of international law in their 11-day war this month.
The top United Nations human rights body on Thursday passed a resolution aimed to intensify scrutiny of Israel s treatment of Palestinians, after the UN rights chief said Israeli forces may have committed war crimes and faulted the militant group Hamas for violations of international law in their 11-day war this month.
The 24-9 vote, with 14 abstentions, capped a special Human Rights Council session on the rights situation faced by Palestinians. The session and the resolution were arranged by Organisation of Islamic Cooperation countries, which have strongly supported Palestinians in their struggles with Israel.
The resolution, which was denounced by Israel, calls for the creation of a permanent “Commission of Enquiry” the most potent tool at the council s disposal to monitor and report on rights violations in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank. It would be the first such COI with an “ongoing” mandate.
Body votes for permanent inquiry on alleged violations; Netanyahu pans 'shameful decision,' says council has 'anti-Israel obsession'; envoy Erdan calls it 'appalling, antisemitic'
