Tutu Campaigns for Gaza War Crimes Probe
----------------------------------------



The South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu is among a group of sixteen
leading war crimes investigators and judges calling for a UN inquiry
into war crimes committed during Israel’s attack on Gaza. The group has
written a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

* Arbishop Desmond Tutu*: “It isn’t that we want to sensationalize. It’s
just that some very serious things have happened, and if we are hoping
to have a world that is stable, a world that abides by the rule of law,
then it has to apply to everybody.”

Other signatories joining Tutu include former Irish President Mary
Robinson and Richard Goldstone, the former chief prosecutor for
Yugoslavia and Rwanda.
