'Even war has rules': MSF demands independent probe of Kunduz hospital bombing
ڈاکٹروں کی عالمی تنظیم ایم ایس ایف نے الزام لگایا ھے کہ امریکہ افغانستان میں قندوز ھسپتال پر حملہ کرکے جنگی جرائم کا مرتکب ھوا ھے۔ اور وہ اس واقعے کی تحقیقات اقوام متحدہ یا خود امریکہ سے نھیں کروانا چاھتے کیونکہ اسطرح انھیں انصاف ملنے کی بالکل بھی توقع نھیں ھے۔ تنظیم کی جانب سے ڈاکٹر لیو نے کہا کہ جنگ کے بھی کچھ اصول ھوتے ھیں ، اور امریکہ کا ھسپتال پر یہ حملہ صرف ایک حملہ نہ سمجھا جائے ، بلکہ یہ حملہ جینیوا کنونشن پر ایک حملہ ھے ، جس کے مطابق کوئی بھی ملک جنگ کے دوران بھی کسی ھسپتال پر حملہ آور نھیں ھوسکتا۔ اوبامہ نے فون کرکے تنظیم کے زمہ داران سے معافی مانگی ھے اور واقعہ کی تحقیقات کا حکم دیا ھے، افغانستان میں امریکی جرنیل نے اسے ایک جنگی غلطی قرار دیا ھے۔ تاھم تنظیم کی جانب سے ان بیانات کو مسترد کرتے ھوئے آزاد تحقیقات کا مطالبہ کیا ھے۔
Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) is calling for an independent investigation into the deadly US airstrike on a hospital in the Afghan city of Kunduz to determine whether the attack can be regarded as a war crime.
According to Doctors without Borders, such an investigation should gather evidence from the US, NATO and Afghanistan, as well as testimonies of the Kunduz hospital staff and patients. Depending on the findings, MSF would consider whether to bring charges for loss of life and partial destruction of the hospital in Kunduz.
"If we let this go, as if it was a non-event, we are basically giving a blank cheque to any countries who are at war," MSF International President Joanne Liu told a news briefing on Wednesday.
"If we don't safeguard that medical space for us to do our activities, then it is impossible to work in other contexts like Syria, South Sudan, like Yemen," she added, while describing the horrors of the hospital bombing.
"In Kunduz our patients burned in their beds. MSF doctors, nurses and other staff were killed as they worked. Our colleagues had to operate on each other. One of our doctors died on an improvised operating table – an office desk – while his colleagues tried to save his life," Dr Liu said.
