Al Jazeera Media Network welcomed the findings of the UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry into the killing of its colleague Shireen Abu Akleh, a reporter for Al Jazeera in Palestine, and calls for swift action to ensure justice for her and hold her killers accountable. The UN body acknowledged that Israeli forces used "deadly force without justification" in targeting the late Shireen Abu Akleh. It highlighted the urgent need to hold accountable those responsible for her killing and those involved in targeting her.
Al Jazeera supports the committee's commitment to present the evidence it has gathered to the International Criminal Court to aid its investigations related to Palestine. While calling on the International Criminal Court's Prosecutor Karim Khan to initiate investigations into Shireen Abu Akleh's death without delay, Al Jazeera reaffirms its commitment to Shireen's family and colleagues that it will spare no legal or media effort to achieve justice for her and hold her killers accountable, and it will continue to pursue the case submitted to the International Criminal Court.
