Will a UN funding shortfall affect investigations into Israel's crimes? | Inside Story
An independent commission of inquiry investigating violations of international law in the occupied Palestinian territories warns it can’t continue its work. Severe funding shortages are derailing the body established by the UN’s Human Rights Council in 2021. The US withdrew from the UN Human Rights Council earlier this year. Now -- his administration owes $1.5bn in fees to the UN. What then is the impact on this commission in the face of rapidly increasing Israeli settler violence and the illegal expansion of settlements in the occupied West Bank? Presenter: James Bays Guests: Andrew Gilmour - Former UN Assistant Secretary General for Human Rights. Sari Bashi - Human Rights Lawyer and Founder of Gisha, an Israeli human rights organisation. William Schabas - Professor of International Law at Middlesex University and a former Chairperson of the Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza Conflict.
