联合国人权专家表示，处决、肆意关押以及失踪等事件继续在科特迪瓦发生。这些专家星期五在一份联合声明中表示，在某些情况下，“被迫失踪”构成“反人类罪”。专家们表示，犯下这些罪行的人必须承担罪责。
这份声明是由联合国人权理事会下属的被迫或非自愿失踪工作小组发布的。联合国说，科特迪瓦上个月举行总统决选后发生的暴力事件已经造成170多人死亡。鉴于现任总统巴博拒绝让权给他的政治对手瓦特拉，科特迪瓦的局势仍然非常紧张。国际社会普遍认为瓦特拉赢得了总统决选。
U.N. human rights experts say executions, arbitrary detentions and disappearances are still occurring in Ivory Coast. In a joint statement Friday, the experts said in certain circumstances, enforced disappearances amount to “crimes against humanity.” They said those who have committed such acts will be held accountable.
The statement was issued by the U.N. working group on enforced or involuntary disappearances, which reports to the U.N. Human Rights Council. The United Nations says more than 170 people have been killed in violence following last month’s run-off presidential election in Ivory Coast. Tensions there are high as incumbent leader Laurent Gbagbo refuses to hand over power to his political rival, Alassane Ouattara, the internationally recognized winner of the election.
