UN strongly condemns attack against liberty Camp

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General (SRSG) for Iraq, Mr. Martin Kobler, and the UNHCR Representative in Iraq, Ms. Claire Bourgeois, condemn in the strongest possible terms today’s attack on Camp Liberty which reportedly killed and injured camp residents.

A statement by UNAMI quoted Kobler as calling “The Iraqi Government to do everything possible to provide immediate assistance to the injured.

“The UN Envoy and UNHCR Representative are deeply concerned that today’s tragic violence has occurred despite their repeated requests to the Government of Iraq to provide Camp Liberty and its residents with protective measures, includingT-Walls,” Kobler added, Reminding the Government of “Its utmost and ultimate responsibility to guarantee the security and safety of Camp Liberty as well as Camp Ashraf’s residents, throughout the relocation process.”

“Today’s second terror attack on camp Liberty is a reminder to third countries to come forward with serious offers to resettle Camp Liberty residents outside Iraq. Third countries must step forward and open their doors to relocation,” Kobler concluded.
