UN General Assembly to Debate Gaza "War Crimes" Report
[Reuters] Louis Charbonneau - A special meeting of the UN General Assembly on Wednesday will debate the UN report on the December-January war in Gaza and vote on an Arab draft resolution that "requests the Secretary-General to transmit the report...to the Security Council." Diplomats said there was little doubt a majority of the General Assembly would vote in favor of the Arab draft, but they also said the five veto-wielding permanent council members - U.S., Britain, France, Russia and China - all agreed that there was no point in bringing the issue to the Security Council.
