It comes despite a report submitted earlier this month by Israel and an independent inquiry underway in the PA.</p> <p>The United States voted against the resolution. Fifty countries were not present for the vote.</p> <p>The resolution calls for an investigation that is “independent, credible and in conformity with international standards” into charges raised in the U.N.’s Goldstone report, which stated that Israel and the Palestinians committed war crimes and possible crimes against humanity during last winter’s Operation Cast Lead.</p> <p>The resolution follows a similar resolution adopted last November but sets no deadline to complete the investigations.<em> — jta</em></p>
