(Keystone-ATS) “Since the start of the war, Israeli officials have publicly supported policies that deprive Palestinians of the basics of subsistence, food, water and fuel,” say the three members of the committee, the ambassadors of Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Senegalese at the UN in New York. They do not speak on behalf of the organization, but their efforts are supported by a secretariat at the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva.
Until now, only a UN special rapporteur, who also does not speak on behalf of the institution, had clearly assessed that a genocide was taking place in the Gaza Strip. An independent expert considered politically biased by the Jewish state.
