UN Eyeing Potential Israeli War Crimes in Lebanon The visit of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk to Lebanon earlier this month has shed light on the dire humanitarian situation unfolding in the country.
With his assertion that Israel's actions may constitute war crimes, Turk has reignited a debate about the limits of international law and the responsibilities of global powers.
Turk's statements are backed by UN documentation of human rights violations in Lebanon.
