In this interview on CNN, William Schabas freely admits he is biased against Israel and Binyamin Netanyahu.
Yet he claims (without any pushback from the interviewer) that he can set that aside, and be unbiased when he does his "investigation."
No juror in the world would be allowed to be on a case where they admit such strong bias. Any honest judge would recuse him or herself.
But to the UN, the lack of impartiality is in fact the best qualification for a commission like this, since its conclusions are determined ahead of time.
