The UN General Assembly adopts (114-18, with 44 abstentions) a resolution endorsing the Report of the UN Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza
Conflict, led by Judge Richard Goldstone
. The report accuses both Israel and Palestinian militants of war crimes during Israel’s three-week Operation Cast Lead
offensive in December 2008–January 2009, and urges the international community to stop impunity for violations of international law.
