The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution that calls a UN-backed Gaza War crimes
report "irredeemably baised."

Largely a symbolic gesture, the non-binding vote urges the Obama administration to oppose any
endorsement of Justice Richard Goldstone’s findings.

Goldstone’s report accuses both Israel and Palestinian armed groups of committing violations of
international humanitarian law during the war on Gaza.

It calls on Israel and Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, to carry out independent investigations into alleged abuses.

Brian Baird, a Democratic cognressman, told Al Jazeera that the congressional resolution does
not correctly repersent the Goldstone report, but Steve Rothman, a Democratic congressman from New Jersey, has said thta the report does not give enough attention to violations committed by Palestinians.

The Palestinian leadership has backed a move to defer a UN vtoe on the Goldstone report that accuses Israel of committing war crimes during its offensive in Gaza.

Richard Falk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and a special UN rapporteur on the situation in the occupide Palestinian territories, talks to Al Jazeera about the possible motivation behind the decision.
