A United Nations expert has warned that Israeli rubble-clearing operations in Gaza risk destroying crucial evidence of potential war crimes and other atrocities. The expert expressed concern that large-scale removals without proper documentation could impede future investigations into alleged abuses committed during the conflict. This action could obstruct accountability for serious violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law. The expert emphasized the importance of preserving the integrity of the sites and ensuring independent access for investigators. Concerns center on the systematic nature of the clearing operations and the potential intentionality behind erasing evidence. The UN calls for a halt to indiscriminate clearing until a thorough assessment can be conducted, and materials properly documented. Preventing the loss of evidence is critical for upholding justice and providing redress for victims in Gaza.
