<br/> The Human Rights Council has announced that it will hold a special session tomorrow to discuss the report of the recent United Nations fact-finding mission on the Gaza conflict.<br/> According to a press release received by Prasar Bharti in Dubai today, the session will begin a day after the Security Council holds its own debate on the Middle East.<br/> Earlier this month the 47-member Council decided to defer action on a draft resolution on the issue until March 2010, but it has now brought forward the debate following a request from Palestine that was co-sponsored by 18 countries.<br/> The mission, headed by Justice Richard Goldstone, found evidence that both Israeli forces and Palestinian militants committed serious war crimes and breaches of humanitarian law, which may amount to crimes against humanity, during the conflict in December 2008 and January 2009.
