High Commissioner for Human Rights condemns Israeli air attack on Gaza<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson today added her voice to that of Secretary-General Kofi Annan in condemning Israel's latest air attack in the Gaza Strip. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t"I join with the Secretary-General in deploring the Israeli action on the night of 22 July, which left 11 people dead and more than a hundred wounded", Mrs. Robinson said. "Under international human rights and humanitarian law the reckless killing of civilians is absolutely prohibited, regardless of the military significance of the target being attacked."\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tMrs. Robinson went on to point out that Israel, as a democratic society, "must not abandon its core standards and values, even in the face of the serious security threat to its own civilian population".\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tShe added that the assassination policy being pursued by Israel is in conflict with democratic standards and unlawful under international law.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tThe High Commissioner, who has strongly condemned suicide bombings against Israeli civilians, said she was worried the air attack would serve to feed the ongoing violence.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t"The current cycle of savagery must end", she said. "In the eyes of the world, this requires responsible action from both sides of this tragic conflict".\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
