Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch criticize U.K. report on Lebanon War for lack of balance
On October 12, Amnesty International UK and Human Rights Watch criticized a U.K. government report about the war in Lebanon as it only referred to the actions of Hezbollah and did not mention Israeli military operations. Amnesty International UK Campaigns’ Director Tim Hancock said that it is "deeply worrying that this report makes no specific mention of Israel’s illegal targeting of Lebanese infrastructure…" AI and HRW have been heavily criticised for disproportionate focus on Israel during the war. HRW produced at least twenty-nine reports, press releases and opinion pieces on the war in Lebanon, only one of which specifically headlined Hezbollah’s infractions of the laws of war.
