UN: Ethiopian, Eritrean troops behind possible ‘war crimes’
Al Jazeera
UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet said several groups are possible perpetrators of sexual violence and killings.
The UN rights chief says that her office has corroborated grave violations that could amount to “war crimes and crimes against humanity” in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, including by Eritrean troops. Michelle Bachelet stressed in a statement on Thursday the urgent need for an independent investigation into the situation in Tigray, which has been rocked by months of fighting. “Victims and survivors of these violations must not be denied their rights to the truth and to justice,” Bachelet said in a statement, expressing her fear that violations could continue with impunity.
