UN Human Rights Council Commission of Inquiry on 2021 Gaza War Issues Report
(AP-Washington Post) Jamey Keaten - A Commission of Inquiry set up last year by the UN Human Rights Council following the 11-day war in May 2021 between Israel and Hamas in Gaza issued its first report on Tuesday. The commission, headed by former UN human rights chief Navi Pillay, is the first to have an "ongoing" mandate. Critics allege that permanent scrutiny testifies to an anti-Israel bias. Israel's government, which opposed the creation of the commission, refused to grant its members access to Israel or Palestinian territories.
