"Human Rights Watch, a New York based organization, urged Israelis and Palestinians to comply with a UN investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity communited during the IOFs recent Gaza invasion that left more than 1,400 Palestinians dead.

The group states internal IOF investigations into wrongful death and arrests of Palestinian civilians were insufficeint and prone to bias

Jewish South African Judge Richard Goldstone was appointent by the UN Human rights council to head the investigation on Arpil 3rd. Goldstone is the former cheif prosecutor for the international war crimes tribunal in Rwanda and Serbia.

He is a member of the Human Rights Watch Board. Human Rights Watch sent letters supporting Goldstone to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and 27 European union Foreign Ministers asking them to endorse the investigation.

Kenneth Roth, the executive director of Human Rights Watch said in a statement that Goldstone "has the experience and proven commitment to ensure that this inquiry will demonstrate the highest standards of impartiality."
