The history remains the judge of acts of today - Tuesday August 1, 2006
Last on July 24, the NPD made the request to call upon the Standing Committee of the Foreign Affairs and the international development in order to tackle the question of the crisis in the Middle East, which becomes extensive.
The war counters terrorism during last weeks took a new turning which be likely to have consequences for Canada, as much in our adventure in Afghanistan, which new waves on our premises. The preserving government must return towards the principles of equity which characterizes the traditional Canadian foreign politics.
The Lebanese one need a durable help on behalf of the international community. Being given the broadth of the destruction of the infrastructure to Lebanon and Gaza, in addition to the Mediterranean threatened by an ecological catastrophe in tons of fuel, the humanitarian aid will be still necessary good after the end of this crisis.
This week, the government of Canada, via the Canadian Agency of international development (ACDI), will pour 5 million dollars at organizations of UNO in response to this call, and we support this initiative. It is however necessary to avoid such as has to enable to foresee a report/ratio on the humanitarian aid in Canada or more than 33% of the humane funds are empochés by the managers of these organizations is known as not lucrative.
It is with a major sadness which we as learned the week passes as four military observers of the United Nations, of which a Canadian, lost the life at the time of a bombing carried out by Israel on a basis of patrol of UNO which was clearly marked in Lebanon.
Indeed, the secretary general of UNO, Kofi Annan, said himself “shocked” and qualified the Israeli bombardment, Tuesday, counters an observation post of UNO, in the sector of Khiam, in the Lebanon-South, “of act apparently deliberated”.
It should be recalled that Israeli the Prime Minister, Ehoud Olmert, had however ensured that the positions of UNO would not be aimed. The temporary Force of the United Nations in Lebanon (FINUL), on several occasions affirms to have informed, Tuesday, of the Israeli officers of the need for protecting in particular this position from UNO. On its side, the Irish Ministry for Foreign Affairs declared that one of its officers had prevented six times the Israeli forces which they endangered the life of the observers if they continued their strike the town of Khiam.
This situation makes point out the declaration of Louise Arbour, High-Commissioner of the United Nations to the human rights, that the international humane law is clear with regard to the supreme obligation to protect the civil ones during the hostilities and that the international law requires that accounts are returned. These obligations towards the humane laws go in the same way for the Israeli army as for Hezbollah or it will be L `history which remains the judge of their acts made today.
Following the rises of acts of increasing hatred towards these communities, we ask Canadian to show moderation in their speeches, and to make hear their voice in a pacifist way. We tighten also the assistance to these ethnic communities of Low-Laurentides in this difficult moment, while communicating with us for any assistance necessary.
