The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has voted to investigate possible war crimes in the recent fighting in the Gaza Strip. The resolution called for an independent commission of inquiry to investigate “all violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, particularly in the occupied Gaza Strip”. The vote was 29 states in favor, one against, and 17 abstentions. The US was the only state to vote against forming the independent commission. There have been earlier such commissions, notably the Goldstone commission after Israel’s Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza in 2008-09 in which 1,400 Palestinians died. Israel rejected the findings of the commission and refused to cooperate with the investigation.
