What is the UN human rights chief supposed to do about it?

He did all that was in his power:

Volker Türk told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council there must be an independent and transparent investigation of the two attacks in Lebanon on Tuesday and Wednesday where these devices exploded, reportedly killing 37 people and injuring more than 3,400 others.

They could all say they are going to disband if Israel doesn’t stop. Why even have the UN if they can’t do anything

Or better yet expel isreal

First of all, that’s also not in his power.

Secondly, how would disbanding the part of the UN that investigates human rights abuses help Palestinians?

Edit: Wait, you think the entire UN should be disbanded over this?

The UN is the only reason we haven’t had a nuclear war yet. Otherwise, countries wouldn’t have a neutral world forum.

How would you react if the UN becomes the world government, so that they would finally have the power to stop wars and hunger that people always complain about?

Precisely.

The UN should disband for not stopping Israel, something the US (Biden right now) would stop yet when Biden was criticized you defended him as ‘there was nothing he could do’.

Love Americans and their hypocrisy.

They are…

They’ve had arrest warrants out for a while, but they do t have their own police force to enforce it

It relies on member states arresting them when they enter their country. It why Bibi hasn’t been going anywhere besides America. Biden is one of the few leaders willing to side with Israel over the UN

Aren’t there arrest warrants against George W. Bush from like 20 years ago? This is just more talk that won’t be backed up by any meaningful action because of how trivially easy it is to avoid going to these countries.

The US will veto any action.

It’s them you should be criticizing. It’s always them or Russia/China for the other team.
