An Arab-sponsored draft resolution requests that all parties be given a further five months to conduct investigations…. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) strongly criticizes the time-limit contained in this resolution. As it stands this resolution grants impunity to those accused of committing serious violations of international law.
