The UN human rights chief, Volker Turk, has said that war crimes have been committed by both sides during the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Volker Turk, speaking at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, said all suspected war crimes must be investigated and those responsible held accountable.
" Clear violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, including war crimes and possibly other crimes under international law, have been committed by all parties. It is time for peace, investigation and accountability, " he said.
Turk added that his office had recorded many incidents that could amount to war crimes by Israeli forces.
He said there were also indications that Israeli forces have engaged in indiscriminate or disproportionate targeting in violation of international law.
