56. this is from the article the last 5 paragraphs
however there is little to nothing from the actual report


The report explains “the Panel’s understanding of the tasks at hand and the working methods it has unanimously adopted in order to carry out its mandate,” the official said, adding that proceedings “have been conducted in a positive and collegial manner.”

Members of the panel agreed that they will receive and review reports of national investigations into the May 31 incident from both Israel and Turkey. The panel also agreed to make requests to state-designated points of contact in Israel or Turkey, in the event that they require more information or clarification.

If information is required from other states besides Israel and Turkey, the panel determined that information will be sought through diplomatic channels.


These points implicitly address previously expressed concerns that the panel would be able to assume a subpoena power or would attempt to challenge national investigations into the incident.

“The Panel agreed that in the light of the information so gathered, it would examine and identify the facts, circumstances and context of the incident and make findings and recommendations for the prevention of similar incidents in the future,” a statement issued by the secretary- general’s office read, adding that Ban “was heartened that the Panel unanimously reported it had the means available to it to respond to the high international concern that has been expressed concerning the flotilla incident.
