UN body condemns Israel’s ‘grave violations’

Zu den Kommentaren

The United Nations Human Rights Council condemned Israel today for “grave violations” of human rights of the people of Gaza.

A resolution drafted by Arab, Asian and African countries also called for the urgent despatch of an international mission to investigate Israeli behaviour in the enclave, and called on Israel to co-operate with it.

But the non-binding resolution, passed by 33 votes with 13 abstentions and one against, was dismissed by Israel as one-sided and reflecting the “fairytale world” of the 47-member Council, for which the Jewish state is a prime target.

The text of the document said the Council “strongly condemns the ongoing Israeli military operations… which have resulted in massive violations of human rights of the Palestinian people and systematic destruction of the Palestinian infrastructure.”
