The United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) observes the maintenance in Palestine of the cease fire, and assists the parties to the armistice agreements in the supervision of the application and observance of the terms of those agreements. A corps of UN Military Observers (UNMO) is available to assist in investigating any complaints.

By agreement between Israel and Jordan, an UN-escorted convoy carrying food, other necessities, and exchange personnel to the Israeli humanitarian and cultural institutions on Mount Scopus, leaves Mandelbaum Square every two week. Manifests are tiled with the United Nations and with Jordanian authorities. Before departure the contents of the convoy are examined by personnel of the UN Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) in the presence of both Jordanian and Israeli authorities.

It was referred to the Assembly by the Human Rights Council.
Adopted by a vote of 114 in favour, 18 against, and 44 abstentions, the General Assembly resolution calls on Israel and the Palestinian side to undertake independent and credible investigations to ensure accountability and justice. It also requests the Secretary-General to transmit the Goldstone Report to the Security Council.
