 Aharon Leshno Yaar, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, delivers a speech at the European headquarters of the UN in Geneva. Yaar said the adoption by the UN Human Rights Council of a proposed resolution on the controversial Goldstone report would be a "reward for terror".
 
 
 
 
 
 
GENEVA (AFP) - – The adoption by the UN Human Rights Council of a proposed resolution on the controversial Goldstone report would be a "reward for terror," Israel's envoy told the 47-member state council Thursday.
 
"The resolution, as proposed, will be a reward for terror and will send a clear message to terrorists everywhere," said Aharon Leshno Yaar, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations.
 
The report, which followed a fact-finding mission led by former international war crimes prosecutor Richard Goldstone, accuses Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas of war crimes.
 
It recommends that its conclusions should be referred to the International Criminal Court prosecutor in The Hague, if Israel and Hamas fail to carry out credible investigations within six months.
 
The Goldstone report also recommends the UN Security Council set up an independent team of experts to monitor and report on any investigations undertaken by Israel on the allegations.
