Both are war criminals

The UN has accused both Israel and the Palestinians of committing war crimes in the recent Gaza war. Israel is accused of using 'disproportionate force', Palestine of launching rocket attacks against Israel. Neither Hamas nor Israel thinks much of the report. Nonetheless, the UN report recommended that the Security Council require Israel, and the Gaza authorities, to report in six months about its own investigations into the alleged crimes. If they did not come up to scratch, then the International Criminal Court should become involved.

Will the report have any effect?
