Lessons from the Kunduz Hospital Airstrike in Afghanistan

Last year on On 3 October 2015, a United States Air Force gunship attacked the Kunduz Trauma Centre operated by  Doctors Without Borders in the city of Kunduz, in northern Afghanistan. MSF condemned the incident, saying all warring parties had been notified of the hospital's location ahead of time, and that the airstrike was deliberate, a breach of international humanitarian law and MSF is working on the presumption of a war crime. Tomorrow UJ will hold a public lecture by Craig Iffland titled The Principle of Non-Combatant Immunity: Lessons from the Kunduz Hospital Airstrike in Afghanistan where Iffland will be reflecting on the injustices that occurred and the reaction from the US and Media... Guest: Craig Iffland, Position: PhD candidate in Moral Theology at the University of Notre Dame & a Visiting Fellow in Ethics and International Law at the Afro-Middle East Centre
