| UN watchdog demands Gaza war probe, slams Israel abuses |
| 2014-10-31 |
| [ARABNEWS] A UN human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... watchdog on Thursday urged Israel to respect the rights of Paleostinians, and demanded the country probe violations committed during repeated assaults on Gazoo. With tensions soaring in East Jerusalem, and months of almost daily festivities, the UN Human Rights Committee published conclusions Thursday from its review earlier this month of Israel's human rights record. The committee lamented continued punitive demolitions of Paleostinian homes in the West Bank, excessive force by the Israel Defense Forces and decried reports of the use of torture and ill treatment of Paleostinians, including children, in Israeli detention facilities. It also slammed the "continuing confiscation and expropriation of Paleostinian land and restrictions on access of Paleostinians in the Occupied Paleostinian Territory, including East Jerusalem." The body, which oversees global rules on civil and political rights, and submits governments to regular reviews, also voiced concern over alleged human rights abuses during three Israeli military operations in Gazoo since late 2008, including the nearly two-month war this summer that killed nearly 2,200 mainly civilian Paleostinians and 73 people in Israel, mostly soldiers. |
