On August 16, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) announced that its "Expert Legal Inquiry" would investigate infractions of "international humanitarian law and human rights law" during the recent Lebanon conflict. It will focus on "methods of war on both sides that have caused the greatest loss of civilian life." The ICJ also called for a UN inquiry into alleged violations of international law during the war.
