UN Human Rights Council Endorses Goldstone Report on Gaza

The UN Human Rights Council has endorsed a UN report that accused Israel of war crimes in Gaza. In a special session, twenty-five states endorsed the resolution. Six, including the United States, voted against, and eleven abstained. The report by South African jurist Richard Goldstone accuses both Israel and Hamas of war crimes in Gaza but is most critical of Israel. Around 1,400 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli attack, most of them civilians. US Ambassador Douglas Griffiths: The United States continues to focus our attention on our main goal: working with Israel and the Palestinian Authority to relaunch successful permanent status negotiations as soon as possible. Resolutions like the one before us today can only exacerbate polarization and divisiveness."
