UN Inquiry Finds War Crimes Committed by Israel and Hamas Since October 7

ai generated text

The conflict between Israel and Palestinian armed groups has resulted in devastating consequences for civilians, particularly children. Reports from various sources, including the United Nations, have documented grave violations against children, including killings, maiming, and abduction. The UN's Commission of Inquiry has accused both Israeli forces and Hamas of committing war crimes in the early stages of the Gaza war.

  1. UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry
    1. Women and women's bodies were used as victory trophies by male perpetrators.
    2. Many abductions were carried out with significant physical, mental and sexual violence and degrading and humiliating treatment, including in some cases parading the abductees.
    3. The immense numbers of civilian casualties in Gaza and widespread destruction of civilian objects and infrastructure were the inevitable result of a strategy undertaken with intent to cause maximum damage, disregarding the principles of distinction, proportionality and adequate precautions.
    4. Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory presents an unprecedented scale and intensity of grave violations against children.
    5. Children are at risk of famine, severe malnutrition and preventable death.
    6. Most incidents were caused by the use of explosive weapons in populated areas by Israeli armed and security forces.
    7. The deliberate use of heavy weaponry by Israeli security forces with large destructive capabilities in densely populated areas constitutes an intentional and direct attack on the civilian population, particularly affecting women and children.

    António Guterres
    United Nations
    1. In 2023, violence against children in armed conflict reached extreme levels, with a shocking 21 percent increase in grave violations.
    2. More than 10,600 children formerly associated with armed forces or groups received protection or reintegration support during 2023.
  3. ZA
    Navi Pillay
    UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry
    1. The only way to stop the recurring cycles of violence, including aggression and retribution by both sides, is to ensure strict adherence to international law.
    2. It is imperative that all those who have committed crimes be held accountable.
