GENEVA (AN) — The United Nations’ top investigative body on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict described its ongoing mandate as a "tragic necessity," as new reports of child fatalities and the targeting of journalists underscore a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The Independent International Commission of Inquiry introduced its new leadership on Thursday, chaired by former Indian Chief Justice Srinivasan Muralidhar. The panel, which includes Zambian judge Florence Mumba and Australian lawyer Chris Sidoti, assumes its role four months after the commission issued a landmark report concluding that Israel committed genocide in Gaza.
