Obviously we moderators are not present in the region, nor are we experts on the topic. That applies to almost every story that appears on HN. The “some interesting new phenomenon” is that – according to the title – ”top UN legal investigators” have made this finding. That's what we call "significant new information" about this topic. It's not for us to judge whether this finding is accurate or not; as I said, we're not there, we're not experts. But the discussion thread allows abybody with any particular knowledge on the topic to share their perspective.
