The commission, led by former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, aims to uncover the underlying causes, document evidence, and make recommendations. The mandate of the commission covers the increasingly militarized law enforcement operations of Israel and repeated attacks on Gaza, which are seen as maintaining an unlawful occupation. The commission has broad jurisdiction over Israel, Palestine, the West Bank, and Gaza, and is authorized to investigate emerging issues.
