UN Human Rights Council adopts resolution to hold Israel accountable for Gaza war crimes

6 Apr 2024 - 19:28

The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) adopted a resolution on Friday calling for the Israeli occupation to be held accountable for possible war crimes and crimes against humanity it committed in Gaza.


 Twenty-eight countries voted in favour of the resolution, 13 countries abstained from voting and six countries voted against it, according to reports by the European Euronews network.
 
This is the first time the UNHRC has taken a position on the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip since 7 October. The Council has no binding means to enforce the implementation of its decisions, however.
 
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said last night he was deeply troubled by reports that the Israeli occupation forces are using an artificial intelligence tool in the identification of targets in Gaza, resulting in a high level of civilian casualties.
"I am deeply troubled by reports that the Israeli military’s bombing campaign includes AI as a tool in the identification of targets, resulting in a high level of civilian casualties," said the UN chief in a post on X.
"AI should be used as a force for good to benefit the world; not to contribute to waging war on an industrial level, blurring accountability."
