UN Commission of Inquiry says NATO conducted a “highly precise” campaign in Libya
A UN commission investigating war crimes and human rights violations in Libya reported on 2 March that NATO “conducted a highly precise campaign with a demonstrable determination to avoid civilian casualties”. Published by the UN Human Rights Council, based in Geneva, the 220-page report largely absolves NATO from blame for civilian deaths.
This briefing (see attached pdf) reviews the Council's main findings in relation to NATO as well as the reactions of international stakeholders, including Russia, China and human rights' NGOs. It also reproduces the NATO-related extracts from the report as an Appendix.
