Will a UN funding shortfall affect investigations into Israel’s crimes?

Israel’s independent UN investigation body claims that it lacks funds.

The independent commission of inquiry that is looking into Israeli-Palestinian violations of international law has warned it not to carry on its investigation.

The UN Human Rights Council, which was established in 2021, is being severely hampered by severe funding constraints.

Earlier this year, the United States withdrew from the UN Human Rights Council. It owes the UN approximately $ 1.5 billion in outstanding fees.

What effect, then, does the rapidly escalating Israeli settlement violence and the illegal settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank have on this commission?
