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.
