UN commission of inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and accused senior Israeli officials including Benjamin Netanyahu of inciting it.
The United Nations independent international commission of inquiry (COI), which does not speak on behalf of the UN and has been criticised strongly by Israel, cited the scale of the killings, aid blockages, forced displacement and the destruction of a fertility clinic in the territory to support its genocide finding.
Once the UN commission of Strongly Worded Letters steps in we will see some progress.
What do you want them to do? A commission goal is to investigate and come to an conclussion then it is the job of the UN members to do their obligations and do actions based on that finding
Not taking two years to determine the most obvious genocide in world history would be nice.
Sorry but as horrific and clear as it is. this isn’t the most obvious genocide in world history.
do you even know what has happened ho historically?
Which genocide are you referring to?
I said that in a previous comment it’s the ICJ part of the UN that is problematic. They have all the evidences and still didn’t declare it as a genocide. They took 12 years after it ended to declare the Bosnia genocide
For sure, but there are also other UN commissions which completely failed at their job, and this is one of them.
This commission itself should be prosecuted for being complicit in genocide.
What do you mean? They where asked to prove there is a genocide , they concluded there is a genocide so where is the failure?
Time window.
I don’t think the previous comment was directed at the commission.
The world has been watching the genocide for nearly 2 years now and no meaningful action has been taken to stop it by any country.
I think the point that was being made is that the UN appears to be completely powerless as long as the US continues to back Israel (and still has veto power in the security council).
He literally said un commission rather than the UN. And the UN is also constituted from many entities some have no executive power. Blaming icj specifically is something i agree eith there is no reason why it take them so long to admit the genocide
I’m not going to argue about what @CluckN@sh.itjust.works meant, but it seemed pretty clear to me that the problem is all of the countries who aren’t doing anything.
Yeah no idea what that bozo is thinking
I agree
I want both parties to cover themselves in oil and wrestle.
