The UN Commission of Inquiry on Wednesday required She calls for international accountability amid the Iran war, which she says has led to an unprecedented rise in human rights abuses against civilians in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Commission underlined the seriousness of the situation in the region, given the increasing number of deaths as a result of air strikes in residential areas and schools, and stressed that the conflict is evolving from one targeted military involvement in a widespread humanitarian crisis. This escalation is most visible in cities such as Minab, where a single attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ primary school claimed over 168 lives, and in Tehran, where the bombing of Gandhi Hospital forced the evacuation of newborns in incubators.
The strategy of targeting Dual-use infrastructuresuch as power plants and oil depots, have only raised the stakes as life-sustaining services have been disrupted for nearly nine million people. In addition, more than three million internally displaced civilians are in a vulnerable state due to a lack of disaster response infrastructure, such as functioning air raid sirens and accessible bomb shelters.
As Iran’s retaliatory drone and missile attacks continue to claim more people in Israel and the West Bank, more than 1,600 deaths Since Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion, there have been reports in Iran that the Israeli military mission is facing increasing pressure amid increasing violence. The Commission also drew attention to the situation of Palestinian communities, which have no opportunity to be informed about early warnings or protective measures. Israelis living in cities near military installations and civilians who did not have access to shelter, including in remote Bedouin villages.
In addition, the Israeli Knesset has decided to pass a legitimation bill capital punishment The punishment for those convicted of intentional killings, which are considered acts of terrorism under Israeli law, has created a new level of legal and ethical tension, especially since the measure applies exclusively to Palestinians. The unclear wording of the law, particularly the clause “denying the existence of the State of Israel,” was criticized as being too broad and overly strict.
The apparent deterioration in Palestinian well-being since the ceasefire in October 2025 has been exacerbated by the lack of medical care, food security and adequate housing, leading to… acute malnutrition For children under two years old, the rate rises to 15.6%. The widespread use of AI tools to help armies make smarter and more efficient targeting decisions has raised serious concerns criticism Warning that this erosion of human control increases the risk of catastrophic errors, including unintended civilian casualties and escalation through algorithmic miscalculations.
