The death toll in Gaza has exceeded 44,300 with seventy percent of the victims being women and children. In the following interview, UN human rights lawyer, Chris Sidoti, describes investigative work underway to determine what criminal responsibilities there may be in the conflict that shows no end in sight.The tragic death toll from the violence in Gaza has far exceeded 44,000, seventy percent of whom are women and children. Over 13 thousand children have died, close to 800 under the age one.
Mr. Sidoti is an international human rights attorney and a commissioner with the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel. He has worked for decades in this field, including on a similar UN commission of inquiry dealing with Myanmar, as well as provided his expertise to the Australian Catholic mission for Justice and Peace.
In your current work on war in Gaza following the October 7 violence, tell us about your work on the Commission of Inquiry and human rights investigations... We were pleased that the Court relied almost entirely on our investigative work in its decision. This to us indicated that the Court was taking our work seriously and taking our conclusions seriously. In looking at the situation since 7 October, we reported in June this year to the Human Rights Council on the first part of our investigations, and that is what happened on 7 October and 8 October in southern Israel, and what happened between those dates and the end of 2023 in Gaza.
In our most report to the General Assembly, last month, October 2024, we looked at three issues. We looked first at the Israeli attacks on the healthcare care system in Gaza and came to the conclusion that the Israeli military forces had embarked upon a program of concerted intentional destruction of the healthcare care system in Gaza as a whole.
