The United Nations Human Rights Council on Friday adopted a resolution calling for Israel to be held accountable for possible war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip.
Twenty-eight countries voted in favour, 13 abstained and six opposed the resolution, including the United States and Germany. The adoption prompted several representatives to the Council to cheer and clap.
The resolution stressed “the need to ensure accountability for all violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law in order to end impunity”.
Israel, however, dismissed the resolution as a “distorted text”.
