L’amnistie annoncée ne doit pas concerner les crimes de guerre et contre l’humanité

Aucune amnistie ne devrait s’appliquer aux crimes de guerre, crimes contre l’humanité et autres graves violations des droits humains commises en Côte d’Ivoire pendant la crise post-électorale de 2010-2011, ont déclaré aujourd’hui onze organisations de défense des droits humains ivoiriennes et internationales.

There should be no amnesty for those responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity and other serious human rights violations committed in Côte d’Ivoire’s 2010-11 post-election crisis, 11 national and international human rights groups said today.

Contrary to all commitments for justice since 2011, President Alassane Ouattara announced on August 6, 2018 that he would grant an amnesty to 800 people accused of or convicted of crimes related to the 2010-11 crisis or subsequent attacks against the state, which could include people implicated in serious human rights crimes.

Operational Updates

Le système de santé publique de la Côte d’Ivoire est plus avancé que celui de beaucoup de ses voisins, mais une série de crises et de conflits qui ont eu lieu entre 2000 et 2012 l’ont fragilisé et ont creusé les inégalités entre les villes et le milieu rural. Toutefois, les progrès s’expliquent dans une large mesure par les efforts ciblés déployés conjointement par les autorités publiques et les partenaires nationaux et internationaux, parmi lesquels le Fonds mondial.

Côte d’Ivoire has a more developed public health system than many of its neighbors, but a series of crises and conflicts between 2000 and 2012 weakened health systems and intensified the inequalities between urban and rural areas. However, progress has been made, largely due to a concentrated effort involving the government and national and international partners, including the Global Fund. The Millennium Development Goals of halting and reversing the spread of HIV and malaria have been met, and the country has recently achieved universal coverage of mosquito nets.

Description of the disaster

On the night of 18 to 19 June 2018, stormy rainfall of unprecedented intensity fell on the Côte d’Ivoire capital, Abidjan and many other cities. Following this heavy downpour, several neighbourhoods in Abidjan and in country towns including Tiassalé, Toulepleu, Sanpedro registered significant material and human damage caused by ensuing floods and accompanying landslides in some high-risk areas. These landslides occurred in mainly illegal settlements and Government is taking steps to relocate residents.

The UN Operation in Côte d’Ivoire (UNOCI) completed its mandate on June 30, 2017, after more than thirteen years. One year later, the secretary-general is set to release his “comprehensive study of the role of UNOCI in the settlement of the situation” in the country. This presents an opportunity to examine the many stages or “lives” of a peacekeeping operation, something often overlooked.

La France assure la Côte d’Ivoire de sa solidarité suite aux pluies diluviennes qui ont fait de nombreuses victimes et causé d’importants dégâts à Abidjan depuis le 18 juin. Nous adressons nos condoléances aux familles des victimes décédées dans ces circonstances difficiles.
