加拿大、英国和澳大利亚应该对加沙地带的WCK袭击事件展开调查\n\n以色列已经表明其不愿\n\n民众聚集在加沙地带中部代尔拜拉赫，围观一辆遭以色列军队袭击的美国人道主义组织世界中央厨房（World Central Kitchen, WCK）的车辆残骸（摄于2024年4月2日）[AFP]\n\n以色列军队已结束对2024年导致世界中央厨房（WCK）七名人道主义工作者身亡的无人机袭击事件的调查。结论是什么？无需进行刑事调查。且未给出任何解释。\n\n西方国家对不对该袭击追究刑事责任的决定进行了猛烈抨击，称其“令人羞耻”。加拿大外长Anita Anand称其“不可接受”。澳大利亚政府表示“愤怒”。波兰外交部则宣布感到“失望”。\n\n如果西方国家确实对以色列的调查结果感到不满，那么他们应该亲自对这起犯罪展开调查。他们具备开展此项工作的体制能力和法律权利。如果不进行调查，就意味着他们默认以色列对在加沙杀害其援助人员的行为享有有罪不罚的特权。\n\n无人机袭击WCK车队后拍摄的画面显示，在以色列导弹穿透该组织车辆车顶的位置——紧邻其标志处——留下了一个焦黑的弹孔。WCK车队的这三辆车都有清晰的标志，且其在加沙地带的行踪均与以色列军队进行了实时协调。\n\n然而，这些防范措施仍不足以保护Lalzawmi Frankcom（澳大利亚籍，43岁）、Damian Sobol（波兰籍，35岁）、Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha（巴勒斯坦籍，25岁）、Jacob Flickinger（美加双重国籍，33岁）以及英国公民John Chapman（57岁）、James Henderson（33岁）和James Kirby（47岁）的生命。他们是自2023年以来在加沙遇害的1000多名人道主义救援人员之一。\n\n对WCK车队的袭击具有潜在战争罪的特征。加拿大外长Anand在提及武装冲突法并表示“加拿大期望国际人道主义法得到遵守”时，也暗示了这一点。\n\n重要的是，即便如以色列所声称的那样，袭击系失误导致，它仍可能构成战争罪。将袭击称为“悲剧性的错误”并非免除肇事者责任的魔杖。如果参与空袭的人员行为鲁莽，明显漠视平民生命，他们可能根据国际法承担战争罪的责任。

xwhatsapp-strokecopylinkgoogleAdd Al Jazeera on GoogleinfoPeople gather around the carcass of a car used by US-based aid group World Central Kitchen, that was attacked by the Israeli army in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip on April 2, 2024 [AFP]The Israeli army has concluded its probe into the 2024 drone strikes that killed seven humanitarian workers from the World Central Kitchen (WCK). The verdict? No criminal investigation is warranted. No explanation was provided.

The decision not to pursue criminal responsibility for the attack was slammed by Western states as “shameful”. Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand called it “unacceptable”. The Australian government said it was “outraged”. The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared it was “disappointed”.

If Western states are indeed dissatisfied with the outcome of the Israeli probe, then they should investigate the crime themselves. They have the institutional capacity and legal right to do so. Not pursuing an investigation would mean they accept Israeli impunity for the killing of their aid workers in Gaza.

Images taken in the wake of the drone strikes on the WCK convoy show a charred hole where Israeli missiles breached the roof of the organisation’s vehicles – right next to its logo. The three cars in the WCK convoy were clearly marked, and their movements across the Gaza Strip were coordinated in real time with Israeli forces.

Such precautions were not enough to protect the lives of Lalzawmi Frankcom (Australia, 43 years old), Damian Sobol (Poland, 35), Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha (Palestine, 25), Jacob Flickinger (dual citizen of the US and Canada, 33), or British citizens John Chapman (57), James Henderson (33) and James Kirby (47). They are among the more than 1,000 humanitarian aid workers killed in Gaza since 2023.

The attack on the WCK convoy has the hallmarks of a potential war crime. Canada’s Anand intimated as much when she referred to the laws of armed conflict in stating that “Canada expects international humanitarian law to be upheld”.

Importantly, even if the attack was conducted in error, as Israel has claimed, it may still constitute a war crime. Calling an attack a “tragic mistake” is not a magic wand that absolves perpetrators of responsibility. If those involved in the strikes were acting recklessly, with clear disregard for civilian life, they may be liable for war crimes under international law.
