Grüne Revolution Deutschland: “Barred from their Homes” briefing on Tawergha fails to address NATO and Amnesty complicity The forcible displacement of the Tawargha, and other communities such as the Mashashya, most of which happened during the internal armed conflict, also violates international humanitarian law. Article 17 of Protocol II Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 (on protection of victims of non-international armed conflicts), prohibits the displacement of civilians during a non-international armed conflict except for their own security or for imperative military reasons. In the case of the Tawargha, the forced displacement was undertaken as a punitive measure and as such was prohibited. The fact that militia from Misratah continue to prevent the return of the Tawargha to their homes underlines that Tawarghas were indeed chased out of their town in violation of international humanitarian law. This formulation, and the dire circumstances of the dark-skinned Tawarghans, are not particularly welcome information for the powerful humanitarian imperialist wing of Amnesty or their media audience. So it is perhaps not surprising that Amnesty have tucked the briefing away from their front page and that the briefing has been universally and totally ignored by the western mass media. humanrightsinvestigations.org/2013/10/26/barred-from-their-homes-briefing-on-tawergha-fails-to-address-nato-and-amnesty-complicity/
