Pillay event went further lambasting the country’s attacks on homes, schools, hospitals and United Nations facilities in Gaza as she said that “under international law, civilian facilities should not be attacked, but can lose their protected status if used for military purposes,” AFP reported.
Navi Pillay said that “There appears to be deliberate defiance of obligations that international law imposes on Israel.”
The same pattern of attacks is occurring now on homes, schools, hospitals, UN premises. None of this appears to me to be accidental,” she added.
“It is completely unconscionable that the proportionality and precaution that international law requires is being ignored,” said Pillay.
“We cannot allow impunity. We cannot allow this lack of accountability to go on
“I join the world in condemning the aggression that is taking place in Gaza, and particularly the killing of civilians. This is wrong and it will always be wrong,” she added.
