The United Nations Human Rights Council has voted to send a team to Lebanon to investigate alleged abuses by Israel.
The council approved the resolution, proposed by a group of states led by Islamic countries, by 27 votes to 11.
Many of the resolution's opponents criticised it for not mentioning Hezbollah attacks on Israel.
Addressing the emergency session in Geneva, the UN's human rights chief, Louise Arbour, chided both sides for inflicting suffering on civilians.
"Israeli attacks affecting civilians continue unabated," she told a special session of the UN Human Rights Council.
"Also unrelenting is Hezbollah's indiscriminate shelling of densely populated centres in northern Israel," she said.

Fuck me! A resolution criticising Israeli actions in the UN passed and it's bitch the US wasn't able to prevent it!!!!
At last Israel is being treated as the rogue nation it is! The US states it is 'unbalanced' but then we know Hizbollah is a terrorist organisation, everyone states as such.
They don't try to hide behind respectability.
