UN warning shot: those responsible for deadly pager attack “must be held accountable”!
The observation is overwhelming: the dismay that rightly grips LFI MP David Guiraud at the spectacle of the very selective indignation of the French media sphere, which we know only too well, which at best comments without criticizing Israeli state terrorism, at worst exults in an obscene manner, is far from being the most shared feeling in France…
Fortunately, the terror that gripped the Insoumis parliamentarian in the face of this distressing spectacle, and after the horrific murderous attack on Lebanon by beepers booby-trapped by Israel, crossed the Atlantic to seize the Austrian Volker Türk, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights since 2022. And it was a powerful warning shot that rang out through his voice, this Wednesday, September 17, from New York.
” The simultaneous targeting of thousands of people, whether civilians or members of armed groups, without knowing who was in possession of the targeted devices, where they were located and in what environment they were at the time of the attack, constitutes a violation of international human rights law and, to the extent applicable, international humanitarian law. “, Volker Türk vigorously condemned, before demanding that the guilty are held accountable.
While all eyes are on the genocidal Israeli state and the Mossad, but lips remain sealed or barely part to whisper their names, the UN High Commissioner hammered home: ” those responsible will have to be held accountable “, demanding a ” independent, serious and transparent investigation »
The explosions of these communication devices ” which have killed at least 12 people – including two children – and injured thousands more are shocking and their impact on civilians is unacceptable. The fear and terror that they cause are profound. “, he denounced again, before launching a vibrant appeal.
” In this extremely volatile period, I call on all influential states in the region and beyond to take immediate steps to avoid a further escalation of the current conflicts. “, exhorting solemnly: ” He is It is high time that leaders come to the rescue of the right of all to live in peace and security. “But won’t this be yet another sermon in the desert?
