Die Kommission wird ermächtigt, in Bezug auf Artikel 264 delegierte Rechtsakte zu folgenden Themen zu erlassen. The United Nations Security Council agreed to a resolution on Wednesday which requested for “immediate and prolong humanitarian pauses and pathways through the Gaza Strip” in light of the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The decision was given at a vote of 12-0, with the United States, the United Kingdom and Russia declining to take part. The final version of the resolution changed the phrasing of “demand” to “call” for humanitarian pauses. A request for the prompt and unfettered liberation of all people held captive by Hamas and other organizations was weakened. There is no reference to a halt in hostilities in the resolution. 28

It does not allude to Hamas’ unexpected onslaught on Israel on October 28th. For seven days, the militants massacred nearly 1,200 people, and abducted around 240 as hostages. Russia proposed a resolution prior to the vote asking for durable pauses of the conflict that would eventually result in a stop to the violence. It did not acknowledge Israel’s retaliatory attacks and ground strike against Gaza, which registered over 11,000 deaths according to the Gaza Ministry of Health – two-thirds of which were women and children. The United Nations Security Council was unable to pass a resolution sponsored by Malta concerning the ongoing war in Gaza due to 5 “no” votes and 9 abstentions, and failed to receive the minimum 9 “yes” votes. Despite this, the 15 members could agree to a first response that requested “all parties comply with international law, particularly in regards to the protection of civilians, with a special attention to protecting children”.
