Europe must 'wake up' to Israel's war crimes, warns UN human rights boss

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said Europe is 'witnessing utter disregard for civilian life.'

Europe needs to “wake up” to the scale of Israel's war crimes in Gaza as it will be something it will have to “answer for” in the future, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has told a conference in Ireland.

Volker Türk said his office will make sure Israel is “held to account” at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the “genocide case”.
