Afeganistão: Proteção do relatório anual (2008) - dos civis em conflito armado
Terça-feira, fevereiro 17o, 2009
KABUL E GENEBRA? 17 FEVEREIRO 2009? A missão unida do auxílio das nações em Afeganistão (UNAMA) publica hoje o seu relatório na situação dos civis em conflito armado em 2008. Este relatório, compilado pela unidade das direitas humanas de UNAMA extrai na monitoração e na investigação extensivas, independentes, e imparciais dos incidents que envolvem a perda de vida ou ferimento aos civis em zonas do conflito. A análise é engrenada a identificar tendências assim como mede needed para pre-empt a perda de vida e para realçar a proteção dos civis em Afeganistão. Em 2008, UNAMA gravou um total de 2.118 víctimas civis. O pedágio crescente da morte, que representa um aumento de quase 40 por cento nas 1.523 mortes civis gravou em 2007, é do interesse grande às nações unidas. Este teste padrão disquieting exige que os partidos ao conflito fazem exame de todas as medidas necessárias evitar a matança dos civis. A maioria de víctimas civis? 872 (41 por cento)? ocorrido no sul do país, que viu a luta pesada em diversas províncias. As figuras de víctima elevadas foram gravadas também 20 por cento), as do leste (13 por cento), as centrais (13 por cento) e as ocidentais (de 9 por cento) nas regiões do sudeste (. Fifty-five por cento (1.160) do pedágio total da morte foram atribuídos aos elementos anti-government (idades) e a 828 (39 por cento) à segurança Afghan e às forças militares internacionais (forças do pro-governo). A oposição armada era responsável para 1.160 mortes civis; isto representa um aumento de 65 por cento sobre 2007 figuras. A maioria vasta? 85 por cento? daqueles matados por elementos anti-government morreu em conseqüência do suicide e improvisou legados explosivos. a serra 2008 um teste padrão distinto dos ataques pela oposição armada, em áreas residential e outras tais aglomeradas com a negligência aparente para os danos extensivos causam aos civis. Os Insurgents persistiram também com uma campanha da intimidação que incluísse a execução sumária dos indivíduos percebidos para ser associado com, ou de suporte de, o governo e seus aliados. As vítimas incluem professores; estudantes; doutores e trabalhadores de saúde; pessoas idosas tribais; empregados de governo civis; polícias anteriores e pessoal militar; e labourers envolvidos no trabalho de construção do público-interesse. Schools, particularly those for girls, have come under increasing attack thereby depriving thousands of students, especially girls, of their right of access to education. Air-strikes were responsible for the largest percentage ? 64 percent ? of civilian deaths attributed to pro-government forces in 2008. Night-time raids, which sometimes result in death and injury to civilians, are of continuing concern and are widely resented in many communities. 38 aid workers (almost all from non-governmental organisations) were killed in 2008. This is double the number for 2007. A further 147 were abducted. By the end of 2008, “humanitarian space” had shrunk considerably. Large parts of the south, south-west, south-east, east, and central regions of Afghanistan are now classified as an “extreme risk, hostile environment” for humanitarian operations. As the conflict intensifies, civilians bear the brunt of the fighting. In addition to the sharp increase in civilian deaths, vulnerable groups are also suffering in terms of destruction of vital infrastructure, loss of income and earning opportunities, and deterioration of access to essential services. The United Nations remains deeply concerned at the high cost that the armed conflict is having on civilians. While pro-government forces have instituted a number of changes to tactical directives, more needs to be done to avoid the loss of innocent lives. Afghans are, rightly, calling for greater accountability as well as precautionary measures to safeguard the lives of civilians. The United Nations calls on all parties to the conflict, the government of Afghanistan, and the international community to take action to ensure that obligations under international humanitarian law and international human rights law are observed and that the impact of the conflict on civilians is minimised.
