Yesterday, Navi Pillay, the UN rights chief told an emergency session of the council on Wednesday that Israel’s military actions in Gaza could amount to war crimes.
Shortly thereafter, the 47-member council voted (and adopted) a draft resolution titled “Ensuring respect for international law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory” to conduct an investigation whether Israel is indeed engaging in war crimes. Note: this was a vote just to conduct an investigation, nothing more nothing less, no military intervention, no aid, nothing: just an attempt to get some information aside from the constant propaganda barrage.
29 states voted in favour of the investigation and 17 abstained, including many EU states. 1 voted against. Guess which one.
