"Mr President, as the Commissioner has said, many of us have encountered MSF working in challenging conditions in many parts of the world and we respect their integrity, their independence and their policy of making no distinctions based on patients’ ethnicity, religious beliefs, or political affiliation. We know this can create problems for some regimes, but it also means that MSF and other medical charities can often gain the trust of local populations.
Like others here, my Group also condemns this bombing and also wishes to extend our deepest condolences to those who have lost their loved ones, their friends or their colleagues. People should feel safe in a place of healing, and it is certainly a much needed facility. As we have been told, the coordinates were given, but for whatever reason they were not respected. I think questions are raised yet again about what is really meant by precision bombing, and what the value of such bombing is.
We are told that this may constitute a war crime. It is certainly a grave violation of international humanitarian law, and so, as others have done, we support the call by MSF for an independent investigation: however uncomfortable that may be, accountability is essential. And, as was said, all war crimes should be investigated."@en1
