UN rights chief slams Israel’s ‘wholly disproportionate’ handling of Gaza riots
GENEVA — The UN human rights chief on Friday slams Israel’s handling of deadly clashes along the Gaza border as “wholly disproportionate,” backing calls for an international investigation.
Addressing a special session of the UN Human Rights Council on the violence in which the Hamas-run health ministry says more than 100 Gazans have died in six weeks, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein warns that “killing resulting from the unlawful use of force by an occupying power may also constitute willful killings, a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention.”
