UN Human Rights Commission
Condemns Israel 'War Crimes',
10 Western Members Abstain
GENEVA (JTA) — The
United Nations Human
Rights Commission, with its
10 Western members ab-
staining, voted 18-2, March
15, to condemn Israel for
'allegedly committing "war
crimes" in the territories it
administers and demanded
that Israel "cease immedi-
ately creating colonies in the
occupied territories."
The commission deplored
what it called Israel's "flout-
ing of the fourth Geneva Con-
vention" (on the treatment
of civilian populations in war-
time) and insisted that Israel
"cease all measures affect-
ing the physical peculiarities
and demographic composi-
tion of these territories."
The commission said it
was "profoundly troubled
over the destruction of
homes, the expropriation of
Arab possessions, the de-
plorable treatment inflicted
on prisoners and the plun-
dering of the region's arch-
eological heritage and the ex-
ploitation of its natural re-
sources."
The abstaining Western
powers stressed that a dis-
tinction should be made be-
tween war crimes and viola-
tions of Geneva conventions.
The French delegate said
that Israel violations were
"not all crimes" and have
not all been proven.
The Human Rights Com-
mission apparently based its
action on the report of a
three-nation commission set
up by the United Nations
General Assembly several
years ago to investigate the
condition of the inhabitants
of the Israel-held territories.
The commission, consist-
ing of Somalia, Yugoslavia

took its entire testimony
from Arabs and pro-Arab
witnesses in Arab European
cities.
Israel refused to admit
the commission onto its ter-
ritory and refused to appear
before it because the com-
mission refused to investi-
gate violations of Jewish
rights in Arab countries.
