On Friday, the UN Human Rights Council endorsed a report which is examining war crimes committed by both Israeli forces and Hamas militants during last winter's Gaza war. The report is an attempt to make Israel and Hamas conduct credible investigations into war crimes, but if both sides do not make attempts at doing so, the Security council and the ICC intervention has been threatened. The US has protested the current report, citing a potential to undermine Israeli/Palastinian peace talks. Israel is claiming that the report is one-sided against the Israeli government. The report is lead by Richard Goldstone, the former lead prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
