Misheni za Umoja wa Ulaya: Uvamizi wa Israel Katika Ofisi za UNRWA Jerusalem ya Mashariki Unakiuka Mkataba wa Haki na Kinga za Umoja wa Mataifa

Misheni za kidiplomasia zilizopo Jerusalem na Ramallah zinazohusishwa na Umoja wa Ulaya (EU) zimesema kuwa uvamizi wa nguvu uliofanywa na Israel katika ofisi za UNRWA zilizoko Jerusalem ya Mashariki ambao ulihusisha kuchukua mali, kukata mawasiliano, na kushusha bendera ya Umoja wa Mataifa na kuiweka bendera ya Israel ni ukiukaji wazi wa Mkataba wa Haki na Kinga za Umoja wa Mataifa.

Katika taarifa ya pamoja iliyotolewa na misheni za EU huko Jerusalem na Ramallah, pamoja na nchi za Ufaransa, Ujerumani, Finland, Denmark, Uholanzi, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Ugiriki, Cyprus, Austria, Uswidi, Uswisi, Ubelgiji, Ireland, Ureno na Hispania, zilitahadharisha kuwa hatua kama hizo zinaunda mfano hatari unaoonyesha kupuuzwa kwa sheria za kimataifa. Hii ni pamoja na Mikataba ya Geneva, ambayo inalinda mashirika yanayotekeleza majukumu muhimu ya kibinadamu kulingana na sheria za kimataifa.

Taarifa hiyo iliongeza kuwa Israel inapaswa kuheshimu wajibu wake chini ya Mkataba wa Haki na Kinga za Umoja wa Mataifa, ambao unatoa ulinzi maalum kwa ofisi na mali za Umoja wa Mataifa na kuzuia uvunjaji wake kwa namna yoyote ile.
