Comment on Israel must face consequences over Gaza campaign: UN experts

UN rights experts are independent figures mandated by the Human Rights Council. They do not therefore speak for the United Nations itself.
Well there’s your problem.
Not that it would matter if the UN itself acknowledged anything remotely close to this being genocide, they’re a toothless collection of bureaucrats

UN was formed by superpowers, and they have given themselves a veto power, so yes it’s toothless. Still having publically documented information is a good, not a bad thing even if nobody acts on it.
But what is the solution really? How do you enforce something against nuclear country without having an army to force it? UN only has volunteered troops for its missions by member states. You think they will go against their home countries if asked?
