Imminent truce must be used to strengthen int’l, human rights, media presence in Gaza

Ahead of the first temporary humanitarian truce agreement in the Gaza Strip going into effect, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor called for the formation of international human rights committees that would visit the Strip and document the magnitude of Israel’s crimes against Palestinian civilians.

EMHRM emphasised that any United Nations fact-finding committees sent to investigate the situation in Gaza should gather victim #testimonies in person and ascertain the rapidly worsening humanitarian situation with their own eyes

The Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court should be tasked with taking the lead in this regard, said the rights organisation. It should be expected to dispatch representatives to conduct field visits in the Gaza Strip, in order to speak with #victims and witnesses and oversee #investigations at the scene of the #crimes
