Amnesty welcomes the establishment of the UN's fact-finding mission led by Justice Richard J. Goldstone, former Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda looking into possible war crimes committed during the Gaza conflict.

We are calling on both sides to fully cooperate with it and for the UN Security Council to publicly support it.

ACT NOW

ACTION 1 - NEW! Urge the UK to support the Goldstone fact-finding mission

ACTION 2 - NEW! Urge the UNSC to support the Goldstone fact-finding mission

ACTION 3 - Call for an urgent arms embargo on all parties involved in the conflict

ACTION 4 - Demand humane treatment and ICRC access for Gilad Shalit

UPDATE: 10 APRIL 2009

ACTION: Amnesty is calling on the UK government and the UN Security Council to publicly support the Goldstone fact-finding mission.

Having failed to set up an inquiry itself, to establish accountability for war crimes, The UN Security Council, which the UK is a permanent member of, must now support the Goldstone mission and insist that all parties fully cooperate.

Act now: Call on the UK government | Call on the UN Security Council

ARTISTS SPEAK OUT

Terry Jones, Annie Lennox, Thandie Newton, Alexei Sayle, Mike Figgis, Katharine Hamnett and Jason Flemyng, all voice their support for Amnesty' ongoing efforts to secure justice for both Palestinians and Israelis and make an impassioned call for Israel to lift the blockade on Gaza.
