NOTE:

there is no mention of destruction to civilian life and property in Israel; only Lebanon:

UN appoints inquiry commission into alleged Israeli human rights abuses

The commission was created by the UN Human Rights Council last month at a special session in which Israel was condemned for "massive bombardment of Lebanese civilian populations" and other "systematic" human rights violations.

The investigators - a Brazilian, Tanzanian, and a Greek - are to "investigate the systematic targeting and killings of civilians by Israel; examine the types of weapons used by Israel and their conformity with international law; and assess the extent and deadly impact of Israeli attacks on human life, property, critical infrastructure and environment."

The members of the commission were identified as Brazilian Clemente Baena Soares, a former secretary general of the Organization of American States; Mohamed Chande Othman, who sits on Tanzania's supreme court; and Stelios Perrakis, a professor of international studies and a member of the Council of Europe, the continent's human rights watchdog.

The UN rights body voted on August 11 by 27-11 to create the inquiry. European countries, Japan and Canada voted against the resolution, primarily because it lacked balance in failing to name the Hezbollah militia. The United States, which is an observer, has no vote on the 47-member council.
