The Arab Observatory for Human Rights (AOHR) called on the United Nations General Assembly to activate its Resolution "Uniting for Peace" No. 377 to stop Israel’s war on Gaza Strip.

In a statement on Thursday, the Observatory, which is affiliated with the Arab Parliament, also called on it to provide legal support and crimes documentation to the requested investigation by the Palestinian Authority from the International Criminal Court.

AOHR expressed concern over the continuation of the Israeli war in Gaza, which will cause dire consequences for the security and stability of the whole Middle East region.

It called on the international community and the International Criminal Court to take urgent action and investigate the war crimes committed by Israeli forces against the defenseless Palestinian people in Gaza.

Additionally, the Observatory urged the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to form an international fact-finding committee that focuses on human rights violations and other war crimes committed in Gaza.
