MADRID, 18 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The head of Humanitarian Affairs of the UN, Martin Griffiths, has left the door open to the creation of a “special court” to judge what is happening in Gaza, where “impunity” has been established at all levels.
“The impunity that comes with choosing war as the first option has never been greater. And the impunity for killing aid workers has never been greater… We have seen rampant impunity in this war,” Griffiths said in an interview. for ‘Financial Times’.
“Perhaps a special court is necessary,” said the head of United Nations Humanitarian Affairs based on the history that these types of spaces have when it comes to demanding accountability.
Griffiths has warned that this war, which is far from over, he believes, has caused the worst humanitarian crisis in the history of Gaza. “I don’t think we’re even halfway through this yet. We have weeks and weeks left until this savage war ends,” she said.
“None of the normal strong foundations you see around the world for humanitarian operations in places like Syria and Afghanistan exist for us in Gaza. We have no safe places to operate from, where people can safely gather to receive aid.” and be protected,” she lamented.
He has also assessed as “impractical” the proposal that the United Nations be the one to administer the Palestinian enclave once the war ends, although he has left the door open to UN observer missions, as has happened in other places over the years. of history.
Whatever it was, Griffiths believes it is important that none of the warring parties be excluded from the negotiations, even if that includes taking Hamas into account. “People we vilify for terrible acts may still need to be part of the conversations,” he said.
“The people of Palestine have the right to say who can and cannot be excluded, and I am sure that it would be inclusive rather than exclusive, but based on a premise of certain values,” he said.
