? Human Rights Watch is currently investigating ? alleged violations by Israel and Hamas. These include using weapons, such as heavy artillery, indiscriminately in densely populated areas; using civilians as human shields or placing them at unnecessary risk; firing on or preventing ambulances and emergency medical care from reaching persons in need; firing rockets deliberately or indiscriminately into civilian areas; targeting persons?with white flags.
So far, a balanced approach, at least 2 allegations apply easily to Hamas, and according to Israeli narrative, 2 more would apply either. However, another abstract on the same page says that
On January 12, the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva voted to dispatch ?factfinding mission to investigate alleged violations of human rights and humanitarian law by Israel, but not alleged violations by Hamas?. UN officials have called for an investigation specifically into Israeli attacks on UN schools and headquarters in Gaza. |
