Estimados todos:
Acaba de publicarse el borrador del último informe de la Comisión Internacional Independiente de la ONU presidida por el brasileño Paulo Pinheiro, ante el Consejo de Derechos Humanos. El documento se concluyó en agosto de este año y abarca los hechos ocurridos entre mayo y julio en Siria.
Se basa en las entrevistas y análisis de situación hechos por la Comisión... a la que gentilemente Assad no permite visitar Siria.
Las conclusiones son lamentables. Como en el resto de los informes emitidos por esa Comisión anteriormente. Pero, no por repetir las denuncias de las violaciones de los Derechos Humanos y de los más básicos derechos que amparan la población en países en guerra, ese dicumento no deja de tener valor.
Un uso menor del documento sería emplearlo para una cosa que afecta a los participantes de este hilo del Foro: Ayudar a unificar el lenguaje y los adjetivos con los que referirse a los contendientes en el conflicto.
En el documento se despieza las afrentas a los derechos humanos y crímenes de guerra por capítulos y se identifica a los responsables; bien pertenecientes a las fuerzas gubernamentales et al., bien a los fuerzas antigubernamentales.
Adelanto que:
A. Las violaciones del bando gubernamental son muy serias, generalizadas y no se hace mención a que sean debidas a hechos de individuos aislados o contraviniendo órdenes superiores.
B. Las violaciones del bando opositior son serias, menos generalizadas y, con frecuencia se atribuyen a grupos concretos de imbéciles de filiación islámica. No se hace mención a que obedezcan a órdenes centralizadas y a una estrategia predefinida.
Así, las cosas se resumen en...: Tanteo para los muchachotes de Assad: Sección crímines contra la Humanidad: ataques generalizados a civiles, asesinatos, torturas, violaciones, desapariciones forzadas. Sección crímenes de guerra: Sitios de vecindarios y bombardeos indiscriminados, tortura, asesinato de priosioneros, asesinatos en general, ejecuciones extrajudiciales, violaciones, ataques a lugares protegidos, pillaje.
"
Government and pro-government forces have continued to conduct widespread attacks on the civilian population, committing murder, torture, rape and enforced disappearance as crimes against humanity. They have laid siege to neighbourhoods and subjected them to indiscriminate shelling. Government forces have committed gross violations of human rights and the war crimes of torture, hostage-taking, murder, execution without due process, rape, attacking protected objects and pillage."
Tanteo para las fuerzas antigubernamentales, frecuentemente identificadas como responsabilidad de imbéciles islamistas: rímenes de guerra: asesinados, ejecuciones sin proceso, tortura, toma de rehenes, ataques a objetivos protegidos. Sitiar y bombardear barrios civiles.
"
Anti-government armed groups have committed war crimes, including murder, execution without due process, torture, hostage-taking and attacking protected objects. They have besieged and indiscriminately shelled civilian neighbourhoods."
Permitidme reproducir uno de los capítulos... el de ataques a lugares protegidos, como hospitales y a personal sanitario. Que sirva como ejemplo de las diferencias entre los bandos y a la amplitud de los crímenes de unos y otros:
"
B. Specifically protected persons and objects
1. Hospitals and health-care personnel
Across the country, hospitals were destroyed and medical personnel targeted. Sick and wounded civilians and hors de combat fighters were left to languish without treatment.
Under common article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, parties to the conflict must ensure that the wounded and sick are cared for. Hospitals and medical personnel must be respected and protected at all times and must not be the object of attack.
2. Government and pro-government forces
Attacks on hospitals and health-care facilities were documented in Hamah, Homs, Idlib, Dara’a, Ar Raqqah and Damascus.
In mid-May, during the ground operation on Halfaya (Hamah), government forces deliberately shelled a field hospital, resulting in death and injury of medical personnel and the destruction of the facility.
In the course of attacks on opposition-controlled areas in Homs, on 16 May, government forces destroyed a children’s hospital in Dar Al-Kabirah and, in late May, shelled a field hospital in Al-Houlah.
On 24 May, two rockets hit a field hospital in Taftanaz, Idlib. They were fired in close succession, indicating that the hospital had been targeted.
Field hospitals in Dara’a were systematically targeted and shelled, killing medical staff and patients. Given that the hospitals were forced to close, the wounded were left unattended. Although some hospitals remain operational in basements of civilian homes, there is a severe shortage in medicine and qualified staff.
In early June, a field hospital in the Al-Qalamoun region was shelled, leading to the wounding and death of patients. First responders were killed in a second shelling attack.
On 20 June, government forces bombarded the national hospital in Ar Raqqah. Three medical staff members were injured and the intensive care unit was destroyed.
Medical personnel were targeted and killed while performing their duties. A pattern of arrests, harassment and intimidation of health-care professionals was observed (see paragraphs 54 to 62 above).
Government forces misused health-care facilities for military purposes, compromising their neutral status. Abdul Gadir Al-Shagafi Military Hospital in Al-Waar (Homs) was used as a military base to launch attacks on Al-Waar and Juret Al-Sheyah. Snipers were positioned on the roof of the hospital, with tanks and artillery around its perimeter. In late May, prior to the Al-Qusayr offensive, government forces deployed inside its hospitals.
There was a significant presence of security services in State hospitals in Qamishli (Al Hasakah) and Damascus. Nurses working in Damascus hospitals received instructions to deny medical aid to members of the opposition, any of whom elected not to seek medical assistance in hospitals based on a well-founded fear of arrest, detention, torture or death.
The Government has violated its obligations under international humanitarian law, deliberately obstructing the efforts of the sick and wounded to receive help. Government forces deliberately targeted field hospitals to gain military advantage by depriving the opposition and those perceived to support them of medical assistance for injuries sustained, committing the war crime of attacking protected objects. Such attacks spread terror among the civilian population.
3. Anti-government armed groups
On 28 May, Liwa Shuhada Al-Huran attacked the national hospital in Dara’a. No warning was given prior to the attack. The attack violated international humanitarian law and amounts to the war crime of attacking protected objects."
http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/RegularSessions/Session24/Documents/A_HRC_24_46_en.DOCConclusiones:
Estas pruebas y las procedentes de informes anteriores harán más sencillo que podamos usar un lenguaje común:
Así, supongo que no habrá razones para oponerse a emplear como sinónimos de las fuerzas gubernamentales (sobre todo sus líderes) y sus aliados los términos de criminales, asesinos o terroristas.
Tampoco los habrá para usarlo con
algunos de grupos entre los rebeldes -con especial hincapié en los imbéciles de ISIS, Al Nusra e imbéciles semejantes-: criminales, asesinos, terroristas. El resto; a los que no se puede atribuir crímenes de guerra cabalmente habrá que llamarles rebelde u oposición.
Seguro que ya no habrá más errores al calificar a los bandos en conflicto y estoy mucho más seguro de que ya no habrá ningún estimado forista que tenga los arrestos de defender a Assad, ni tampoco quien sea tan absurdo de confundir oposición y rebeldes con terrorismo. No son términos equivalentes.
