      What is the UN human rights chief supposed to do about it?

      He did all that was in his power:

      Volker Türk told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council there must be an independent and transparent investigation of the two attacks in Lebanon on Tuesday and Wednesday where these devices exploded, reportedly killing 37 people and injuring more than 3,400 others.

        They could all say they are going to disband if Israel doesn’t stop. Why even have the UN if they can’t do anything

        Or better yet expel isreal

          First of all, that’s also not in his power.

          Secondly, how would disbanding the part of the UN that investigates human rights abuses help Palestinians?

          Edit: Wait, you think the entire UN should be disbanded over this?

          The UN is the only reason we haven’t had a nuclear war yet. Otherwise, countries wouldn’t have a neutral world forum.
