Meurtre de pilotes italiens au Congo
Télégramme de la CIJ adressé au Premier Ministre d’Italie.
Le télégramme suivant est adressé aujourd’hui à Son Excellence le Premier Ministre d’Italie par la Commission internationale de Juristes:
“La Commission internationale de Juristes exprime son plus profond regret pour le massacre brutal et froidement perpétré de pilotes italiens par des troupes congolaises mutinées, au mépris des règles d’humanité les plus élémentaires.
Les pilotes accomplissaient un devoir humanitaire au service des Nations Unies et jouaient un rôle vital dans le fonctionnement des services administratifs de l’Etat congolais, divisé et troublé.
La Commission internationale de Juristes exprime aux familles des victimes ainsi qu’au peuple et au Gouvernement italiens sa sympathie émue et sincère en son propre nom et au nom des milliers de juristes qu’elle groupe dans le monde entier”.
