Indian Express reports:


In what is being perceived as nuancing of its position, India Friday abstained on a resolution at the UN Human Rights Council condemning Israel over the UN report into Operation Edge in Gaza. Ministry of External Affairs, however, said there is "no change" in India's position on supporting the Palestinian cause. Although India, Kenya, Ethiopia, Paraguay and Macedonia abstained, the resolution was adopted as 41 countries voted in its favour. These included European Union member countries Britain, France and Germany; China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Maldives from India's neighbourhood and Russia. Israel's closest ally US was the only country to vote against the resolution.


This was the first time New Delhi chose to abstain at the vote on a UN resolution condemning Israel. India has traditionally voted in favour of such resolutions. So, the move is being seen in the context of India warming up to Israel under PM Narendra Modi. According to Israel daily Haaretz, the country's officials had said PM Benjamin Netanyahu had spoken to Modi, among others, asking them to abstain.


 Responding to questions over the move, MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup said, "The issue in this particular resolution was the reference to the International Criminal Court (ICC). India is not a signatory to the Rome Statute establishing the ICC. In the past too, whenever a Human Rights Council resolution had made a direct reference to the ICC… our general approach had been to abstain."


 Ajit Kumar, Permanent Representative of India to the UN Office at Geneva, cited the same reasons. India's vote nothwithstanding, the 47-member UNHRC adopted the resolution on "ensuring accountability and justice for all violations of international law in the occupied Palestinian territory including East Jerusalem" asking Israel and Palestine to prosecute alleged war crimes committed in the 2014 Gaza war and to cooperate with ICC's probe.


 While the Council has no binding powers, its moral authority raises the pressure on both sides. The resolution welcomes the UNHRC report, which found evidence of alleged war crimes committed by Hamas and Israel. 


Drafted by Palestine and Arab states, the resolution condemns Israel's targeting of innocent civilians, but ignores rockets launched by Hamas and the inquiry's criticism of the Palestinian side. It calls on all UN officials to implement the report's recommendations and on UNHRC member states to ensure the application of international law in the occupied Palestinian territories. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/gaza-conflict-unhrc-adopts-resolution-as-india-abstains/#sthash.wLWpaZZu.dpuf

The Impact?


CPI (M) today "strongly" condemned India's abstention at United Nations Human Rights Commission on the Palestinian issue saying this has come just before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Israel.

The CPI(M) also dubbed India of being "subordinate ally" of USA in today's world and demanded the NDA Government to reverse its position on Palestinian cause.

"We strongly condemn this decision. It is clearly in preparation to the Prime Minister's visit to Israel. Modi has completely reversed India's support to the Palestinian people, for their right to homeland. This clearly cements India's position as a subordinate ally of the USA in today's world. This is completely unacceptable to the people of India who have always stood with the Palestinian cause," CPI (M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury told PTI.

He added that the communist outfit will "strongly" raise the issue in forthcoming session of Parliament and demanded the Government to reverse its position over the issue.

India for the first time today abstained from voting on a resolution on Palestine at the United Nations human rights body that calls for accountability in last year's conflict in Gaza in which hundreds of Palestinians and six Israeli civilians were killed.


JD(U) on Saturday strongly condemned the Narendra Modi government's decision to abstain from voting on a resolution on Palestine adopted at the United Nations Human Rights Council.


"The JD(U) feels that the decision taken by the central government is not in favour of the country as it might disturb the solidarity with Arab countries...

"The decision is against the established policy of our nation and if India continues to follow the same track, no west Asian nation will stand with us in future," party general secretary K C Tyagi said in a release.

India for the first time yesterday abstained from voting on a resolution on Palestine at the United Nations human rights body that calls for accountability in last year's conflict in Gaza in which hundreds of Palestinians and six Israeli civilians were killed.

Tyagi said JD(U) condemns the government's decision of "supporting" Israel in the UN.

"If 40-41 countries can support Palestine stand against Israel, the party does not understand why the central government chose to go against its tradition," he said, alleging that in the last 60 years, India has supported Israel in UNO for the first time, keeping all the traditional view aside.

The JD(U) leader noted that hundreds of people including children, old men and women lost their lives in the "war crime perpetrated by Israel". 



Resolution to adopt report passes with strong European support; United States only member to vote against

http://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/77084-150703-united-nations-human-rights-council-adopts-2014-gaza-war-report

The United Nation's Human Rights Council voted in favor Friday on adopting the Gaza Conflict Commission of Inquiry which allege that both Israel and Hamas may have committed war crimes during the summer war.

The resolution was adopted with strong European support, with 41 council states including France, Germany, UK and the Netherlands voting in favor. Five countries abstained from the vote, Kenya, Ethiopia, Macedonia, India and Paraguay. The United States was the only member to vote against.

Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that India's abstention was a significant achievement of Israel's diplomatic campaign.

The resolution did not point the finger at those responsible but said they should face justice in either national or international courts.

Although the council does not have the power to order that suspects be brought before the International Criminal Court (ICC), it urged both Israel and Palestinian authorities to "cooperate fully" with any criminal inquiries that may be opened.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the UNHRC vote, saying that the council "is not interested in facts and human rights."

"The UNHCR has adopted more resolutions against Israel than the total against any other countries. It cannot call itself a human rights council," Netanyahu continued.

"Whomever fears to clearly act against terrorists will end up with terror attacking him," he concluded.

Human Rights Watch welcomed the resolution saying it "sends a strong message that the perpetrators of serious violations should be held to account. Israel and Palestine, as well as Hamas, should respect the resolution's call to cooperate with the International Criminal Court."Meanwhile, Israel is reportedly mulling leaving the UN Human Rights Council following a report that alleged the Jewish state may have committed war crimes during last summer's 50-day war with Gaza, Army Radio reported Monday.

Netanyahu made the announcement during a closed-door meeting with top officials, in which he referred to the UNHRC commission in charge of the report as a "hypocritical committee."

"In light of the [UN's Gaza] report, we will consider whether or not to stay in the Human Rights Council," he said.

Earlier in June Netanyahu lashed out at UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, accusing him of hypocrisy after the UN chief criticized Israel for the death of Palestinian children during last summer's conflict in Gaza.

"It turns out there's no limit to hypocrisy," Netanyahu wrote in a Facebook post.

Calling it a "black day for the UN," Netanyahu said Ban prefers to attack Israel instead of "noting the fact that Hamas took Gaza's children hostage by firing from kindergartens towards Israeli children, and dug terror tunnels toward kindergartens in Israel."

"…the UN once again chooses to lecture Israel, which takes care to act according to the international standards, as was determined by a series of top generals from the US and Europe just this week.

"At the same time, the terror group Hamas is winning immunity from the UN even though it was proven beyond any doubt that it has committed war crimes by firing from hospitals, mosques, and from UN facilities," Netanyahu said in the post.

The United Nations has accused the Israeli army of being responsible for strikes on buildings where civilians were sheltering during the conflict.

At the height of the Gaza conflict, some 300,000 displaced Palestinians were sheltering in some 91 UN schools, several of which were hit by Israeli strikes.

American jurist Mary McGowan Davis, who headed the independent probe into the events of last summer's war in Gaza, said last week that the investigation's report would have looked different if Israel would have cooperated with it.

In an interview with Israeli daily Haaretz, McGowan Davis said that if Israel would have cooperated with the investigation, "we could have met with Israeli victims and seen where rockets landed, talked with commanders, watched videos and visited Gaza. We talked to a lot of witnesses but of course an investigation needs to be as close to the scene as possible and it would have looked different."

Israel refused to cooperate with the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) probe, harboring grave misgivings about the commission's impartiality.

The report accused Israel as well as the Palestinians of being guilty of possible war crimes during last summer's 50-day conflict with Hamas.

Israeli officials reacted with outrage to the report, denouncing the UN rights council as biased and politically motivated.

The Gaza commission report, headed by Mary McGowan Davis, placed blame on Israel and Hamas for their actions during the war but focused more on Israel's role. It also accepted the Palestinian death count, which has Israel killing 1,462 civilians out of a total of 2,251 Palestinians who died — a 65 percent ratio.
