Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur for Afghanistan, has renewed his call for a thorough and independent investigation into a deadly Pakistani airstrike on the Omid Center in Kabul. The tragic incident resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Afghan civilians.
Bennett warned that deliberate attacks on civilians and non-military facilities could constitute war crimes under international law. He also urged the Taliban government to ensure the absolute safety of patients in all healthcare and rehabilitation centers across the country.
The Omid Center was primarily used for treating drug addiction, and UN officials maintain it was not a legitimate military target. Demands for accountability regarding this devastating event continue to grow among international human rights observers.
