Goldstone to investigate Gaza abuses


The UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva has appointed the South-African attorney and judge Richard Goldstone as its main investigator to look into possible war crimes committed during the Gaza crisis of December-January. Both good news and a clever choice. Good news because Goldstone has an impeccable reputation. He served on the first South African Constitutional Court after the apartheid era, performed a number of juridical investigative jobs in South Africa and abroad and has been chief prosecutor of the Yugoslavia Tribunal in The Hague. Clever choice because Goldstone is Jewish and received, - among many other awards - a honorary decree from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Goldstone is at present on a job in the Netherlands and staying at the NIAS in Wassenaar.
