Israel & Palestinians fail to prosecute war crimes – UN

‘The UN high commissioner for human rights has accused Israeli and Palestinian authorities of failing to fully investigate alleged violations of international humanitarian law and human rights, in a new report released on Monday.
The paper evaluated compliance with 64 previous reports and some 929 recommendations from the Human Rights Council, the UN secretary general and UN rights investigators from 2009 to 2016.
“Impunity for violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory has been a long-standing concern articulated by the United Nations and civil society,” the report by High Commissioner Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein stated.
Recommendations made by the UN for the introduction of international human rights standards remain “largely unimplemented by Israel and by Palestinian authorities,” the paper went on to say.’
