Link

In the AlJazeera interview posted below Richard Falk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, reflects on the Mahmoud Abbas headed Palestinian Authority’s decision to abandon a resolution to hold Israel accountable for its war crimes in Gaza.

You can access the 575 page ”Goldstone Report,” officially titled “Human Rights in Palestine and Other Occupied Arab Territories: Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict,” here.

Falk’s earlier reflections on the Goldstone Report can be read here.
