UN puts Israel ‘on notice’ over accusations its armed forces are using sexual violence against captives

UN, Israel’s IDF’s prisoners exposed to sexual violence ‘attracted attention’ on the allegations.

Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General of the intergile organization, said that he had important concerns about the patterns of certain forms of sexual violence by armed and security forces.

The alleged crimes included genital violence, long -term nakedness of the prisoners, and abusive and humiliating strips for insulting and questioning.

In his annual report to the Security Council, Guterres reported Israel that they could be listed between the parties suspected of being responsible or responsible for rape patterns or other forms of sexual violence next year.

The warning resulted in ‘important concerns about the patterns of certain forms of sexual violence, which was consistently documented by the United Nations’.

Israel’s Ambassador of UN Danny Danon described concerns as unfounded accusations.

The UN should focus on shocking war crimes and sexual violence of Hamas and the release of all hostages. Israel will not hesitate to protect citizens and will continue to act in accordance with international law, ” he said.

The Palestinian militants Hamas, who triggered the current war in Gaza on October 7, 2023, were listed in Guterres’s Tuesday’s report as a group suspected of being responsible for rape or other forms of sexual violence in armed conflict.

“Cases documented by the United Nations show sexual violence models such as genital violence, long -term forced nudity and repeated strip searches made in a abusive and humiliating way,” he wrote.

The UN also blamed Russia for the same alleged crimes. Russia’s Mission of the UN in New York did not respond immediately to the request for comments on the report. Guterres said Russian officials were not engaged in the private ambassador.

‘These cases consisted of a significant number of documented genital violence such as confiscation of the genitals, beating and burns and confessions or long -term nudity, forcibly descending and revealing confessions or information or knowledge, and long -term nudity,’ he said.
