Submission to UNHRC 55th Session: The UN and Human Rights Community Must Also Be Held Accountable for the Atrocities of October 7
NGO Monitor submits a written submission to the UN Human Rights Council regarding accountability for October 7.
On October 7, 2023 (which was the Sabbath and a Jewish holiday), thousands of Palestinian terrorists poured across the border from Gaza into Israel, slaughtering 1200 people, torturing and maiming thousands, and kidnapping more than 200. Gaza Palestinians also engaged in public desecration of victims’ bodies. In parallel, thousands of rockets were fired at Israeli population centers, sending millions rushing to shelters.
Every one of these attacks constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian and human rights laws.
