Steven Apparently -"Member States of the UN Human Rights Council established the commission in 2021 to “investigate, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel, all alleged violations of international humanitarian law and all alleged violations and abuses of international human rights law leading up to and since 13 April 2021.” *The experts: Morris Tidball-Binz, Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions; Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967; Ashwini K.P. Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance; Fernanda Hopenhaym (Chairperson), Lyra Jakulevičienė (Vice-Chair), Pichamon Yeophantong, Damilola Olawuyi, Robert McCorquodale, Working Group on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises, Farida Shaheed, Special Rapporteur on the right to education; Tomoya Obokata, Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences; Olivier De Shutter, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights; Mary Lawlor, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders; Gabriella Citroni (Chair-Rapporteur), Grażyna Baranowska (Vice-Chair), Aua Baldé and Ana Lorena Delgadillo Pérez, Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances; Mama Fatima Singhateh, Special Rapporteur on sale the and sexual exploitation of children; Gina Romero, Special Rapporteur on the Rights to Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and of Association; Ben Saul, Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism; Irene Khan, Special Rapporteur on the right to freedom of opinion and expression; Surya Deva, Special Rapporteur on the right to development; Laura Nyirinkindi (Chair), Claudia Flores (Vice-Chair), Dorothy Estrada Tanck, Ivana Krstić and Haina Lu, Working group on discrimination against women and girls; George Katrougalos, Independent Expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order; Nicolas Levrat, Special Rapporteur on the human rights on minority issues; Alexandra Xanthaki, Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights; Paula Gaviria Betancur, Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons; Cecilia M. Bailliet, Independent Expert on human rights and international solidarity; Margaret Satterthwaite, Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers; Heba Hagrass, Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities; Astrid Puentes Riaño, Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment; Reem Alsalem Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, its causes and consequences; Graeme Reid, Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Well, here's jobs for the boys and girls of the UN's Independent Commission. All on salaries infinitely bigger than they could earn in their own countries (many of which act towards their citizens in ways that make any actions of Israel towards Palestinians seem like therapy) and doubtless living in UN funded apartments on New York's West Side. NOTE there is no Commission nor Rapporteur dedicated to the rights of the state of Israel nor speaking up in defence of Israeli Jews who are under constant attack or threat of such by Palestinian Arabs. But perhaps that is because looking at what they are said to be responsible for (eg extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions; racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance; Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances; discrimination against women and girls; violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity; independence of judges and lawyers') they are rushed off their feet investigating the atrocities and general behaviour of Palestinians - (NOT !).
