Nissim Vaturi
Deputy Speaker of the Israeli Parliament - Likud
As Deputy Speaker of the Israeli Parliament, Vaturi’s support in the legislature of grave attacks on personal honour and dignity, his legitimisation of killings committed as part of widespread and systematic attacks, and his approval of decisions to treacherously kill or injure members of an enemy nation or army, constitute violations of the obligations to protect civilians during armed conflicts and to observe fundamental human rights.
