The investigation was to investigate "purported violations of international humanitarian and human rights laws in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and particularly in the Gaza Strip since the conflict began on June 13." The date is significant as it is a day after the 2014 kidnapping and murder of Israeli teenagers, ensuring the murders are not part of the investigation and report. The committee's report was due in March 2015, but that was deferred to 29 June 2015 after the resignation of Schabas on 2 February 2015. The final report was issued on 22 June 2015.
