March 26, 2010 UN wants Israel to pay
GENEVA: The UN Human Rights Council has suggested that Israel should pay Palestinians reparations for loss and damages suffered during last year's war in the Gaza Strip.
The 47-nation council is not calling for similar payments by Palestinians to Israelis.
The proposal by Pakistan was backed yesterday by a majority of 29 to six in a vote by the Geneva-based body. There were 11 abstentions.
The resolution also suggests that the International Committee of the Red Cross should investigate Israel's alleged use of white phosphorus, an incendiary munition, during the three-week conflict.
