Gaza starvation could amount to war crime, UN human rights chief tells BBC
Volker Türk tells Jeremy Bowen there is a "plausible" case that Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war.
It has increased the pressure on Israel to fulfill its legal responsibilities to protect Palestinian civilians, and to allow adequate supplies of humanitarian aid to reach the people who need it.
The UN's most senior human rights official, Volker Türk, said in a BBC interview that Israel bore significant blame, and that there was a "plausible" case that Israel was using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza.
Mr Türk, who is the UN high commissioner for human rights, said that if intent was proven, that would amount to a war crime.
Could. How about definitely
I don't know why there's even supposedly room to doubt.
they need this doubt because they need political cover while they are doing it.
So... Netanyahu admin and IDF in Hague when?
Idunno, but I'm arranging for wings and jet engines to strap on pigs..
So there's still a chance they're systematically, intentionally murdering a targeted group of people in the non-war-crime way?
The UN is a fucking joke at this point.
Finally, one of the war crimes might amount to war crimes!
