Report cites scale of killings and aid blockages, and calls on member countries to punish those responsible

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.

    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?
