The United Nations Human Rights Council today released the report of its inquiry on the Libyan Civil War, concluding that NATO had killed 60 civilians over the course of the war and wounded 55 others.
This is a dramatic increase over the estimates of NATO, which insisted it had not killed or wounded even a single civilian and insisted that every attack was against a “legitimate military target.”
Though the report did say that NATO had conducted a mostly “precise” campaign, it seriously faulted the alliance for its refusal to provide information on the attacks that killed civilians, and particularly those which did not appear to have any conceivable military nature.
The report also noted serious human rights violations by members of the anti-Gadhafi factions, saying they participated in the same sorts of war crimes the Gadhafi regime has been.
We're combatants if NATO damn well sez so. Except now someone disagrees about 60. Just for the record: I haven't whacked anyone, and don't intend to. So now I'm a combatant if UNHRC sez so.
There must be some misunderstanding, and I think I have the answer, Rasmussen the head of NATO the Danish guy whom is a member of the neo fascism in Denmark don't know how to count, or his friend the Swedish neo fascism lost counting when they were involved bombing civilians killing 60.000 of them, that is to say the Italian the French and all others who were bombing Libyan people just for the sake of having something to bomb when they bomb, this was a case in Iraq and NATO brutality is as Hitler when he started bombing England, but worse because Libyan were not deafening themselves, they thought that they could talk the problem and reach a political settlement in terms of democracy, they didn't know that they are dealing for neo fascism.
60 Killed over 6 months? Pretty low all things considered.
I'm sure most people on this site were hoping for more.
60 murdered so that their guys could move in and kill more, great work, remind me please, what was NATO formed to do??????
There were FAR more than 60 killed. The UN "Human Rights Council" is full of BS.
Who cares about 60 unnamed and unmourned killed by our chief criminals? They sure as hell don't.
Only sixty? That's well within the tolerances for humanitarian bombing. Well done!
