Serious Violations of International Human Rights in Gaza Conflict Date : 30/9/2009 Time : 22:15
GENEVA, September 30, 2009 (WAFA)- The report of the Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict provided evidence that serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, perhaps amounting to war crimes, speakers said Wednesday in the general debate of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC).
They said this required a full and impartial investigation, and there had to be full accountability for any serious violations of international law.
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict was at the heart of the situation in the Middle East, and there had to be a Palestine State. A solution for the Palestinian refugees also had to be found, they added.
Speaking in the general debate on human rights situations in Palestine and other Occupied Arab Territories were Ireland, New Zealand, Lebanon, Iceland, Maldives, United Arab Emirates and League of Arab States.
The following non-governmental organizations also took the floor: Mouvement contre le Racisme et pour l'Amitié entre les Peuples, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, International Federation of Human Rights Leagues, Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, International Human Rights Commission, International Commission of Jurists, World Union for Progressive Judaism, Centre Europe Tier Monde, North-South XXI, Defence for Children International, Hudson Institute, International Educational Development, Union of Arab Jurists, Maryam Ghasemi Educational Institute for the Support of Children, Institute for Women's Studies and Research, Organization for Defending Victims of Violence, Association of World Citizens, United Nations Watch and Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies.
