Annual UN rights report points to violations on ‘all sides’ of Israeli-Palestinian conflict

“The entrenched impunity… cannot be permitted to continue. There must be accountability on all sides for violations seen over 56 years of occupation and the 16 years of blockade of Gaza, and up to today,” UN human rights chief Volker Turk said in an accompanying statement.
