"It's time for responsibility, justice and peace."
Luisa Morgantini's press release after the endorsement of the Gaza report by the U.N. Human Rights Council


16 October 2009

"I very much welcomed the endorsement of the Goldstone report by the U.N. Human Rights Council" says Luisa Morgantini after the vote, "and I would like to congratulate the Member States which voted in favour of the Gaza resolution that finally made justice prevail at the international level: Israel can not be always beyond the law. Unfortunately Italy USA and those European Member Countries present at the vote did not have the same courage and coherence for the international legality. The today vote" continues Mrs Morgantini "is a path towards the peace and justice in Palestine and in Israel, not only because it recognise the crimes committed by the Israeli aggression in Gaza and the accuses to the militant group of Hamas against the Israeli population, but also for the reference to the particular status of Jerusalem. Only with a deep investigation it would be possible to identify the convicts, and start a real process of peace. It's time for responsibility and peace. It's time to stop the siege in Gaza and the settlements" ends Mrs Morgantini "It's time for Israel to end the occupation and establish a Palestine state alongside the state of Israel on the '67 borders".
