Israel has attacked homes, schools, hospitals, and U.N. premises in apparent violation of the Geneva Conventions, Navi Pillay, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, said. Therefore I would say that they appear to be defying... deliberate defiance of obligations that international law imposes on Israel, Pillay told a news briefing. This is why again and again I say we cannot allow impunity, we cannot allow this lack of accountability to go on. She also criticised the United States, Israels main ally, for failing to use its influence with the Jewish state to halt the carnage.Pillay said that she was appalled at Washington consistently voting against resolutions on Israel in the Human Rights Council, General Assembly and Security Council. in.reuters/article/2014/07/31/mideast-gaza-un-pillay-idINKBN0G01C620140731
