Gaza conflict: implementing the Goldstone recommendations…
- All parties should respect human rights
- Independent and impartial investigations within the next five months
- Implementing and monitoring the Goldstone recommendations
- No restriction of NGO activities
Finally, Parliament welcomes the Council’s 8 December 2009 call for “an immediate, sustained and unconditional opening of crossings” along the Gaza-Israel frontier as the blockade has further worsened the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
The resolution was approved with 335 votes in favour, 287 against and 43 abstentions.
