UN rights body weighs resolution condemning Israel
The Associated Press , Geneva | Mon, 01/12/2009 6:30 PM | World
The top U.N. rights body is considering a resolution condemning Israel's military offensive in Gaza.A draft resolution before the Human Rights Council's 47 members says the offensive has "resulted in massive violations of human rights of the Palestinian people."
The resolution sponsored by Cuba, Egypt and Pakistan also accuses Israel of "systematic destruction of Palestinian infrastructure" and of targeting civilians and medical facilities.
Some 870 Palestinians have died since Israel launched its military offensive on Dec. 27 in response to Hamas rocket attacks.
The resolution being considered in Geneva Monday urges an end to the rocket attacks against Israel but mentions neither Hamas nor violations of Israeli civilians' rights.
