Arab states press for 'war crimes' condemnation of Israel

Arab states o­n today pressed for Israeli actions against Palestinians to be condemned as war crimes by the 114-nation Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), but the move was met with opposition, delegates said.

The Arab bloc pushed their case o­n the sidelines of the NAM meetings here ahead of a summit by the leaders of the developing world next week. A separate statement o­n the Palestinian issue is expected to be released at the end of the summit o­n Tuesday.

Delegates trying to reconcile differences over a draft statement before it is finalised for submission to the foreign ministers' meeting Saturday said there was disagreement over the use of the term "war crimes".
