Nayirah testimony - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

​

奈伊拉的證詞（英語︰The Nayirah testimony）指的是在1990年10月10日，一名15歲名叫奈伊拉的少女在美國國會人權預備會議上提供虛假證詞，以塑造伊拉克入侵科威特時有犯下不人道暴行。當時她在會議上的名字是奈伊拉（Nayirah），因此得名奈伊拉的證詞。該證詞其後被美國媒體廣泛宣傳，時任美國總統喬治·H·W·布什多次引用證詞來合理化美國參與第一次海灣戰爭的決定。
1992年，海灣戰爭後的一年，作家約翰‧麥克阿瑟（John R. MacArthur）揭發奈伊拉的姓氏是 Al-Ṣabaḥ，是當時駐美國的科威特大使Saud Al-Sabah的女兒。她的證詞被指是由科威特政府及偉達公共關係顧問公司背後支持的「解放科威特給人民」行動所策劃的，借此提供假證供引導輿論，讓美國政府得到公眾支持參與戰爭。此一事件後來被視作暴行宣傳的現代典型例子。
Nayirah以流利的英語在發表會上熱淚盈眶自稱在科威特擔當志願護士時親眼目睹「伊拉克軍手持槍械來到醫院，將嬰兒從恆溫箱中取出以搶掠恆溫箱，任由嬰兒在冰冷的地板上自生自滅。(...)我慶幸自己已經滿15歲，足夠年長牢記科威特被薩達姆·侯賽因摧毀前的面貌、又夠年輕去重建她。」起初國際特赦組織及其他科威特逃亡者都異口同聲對伊拉克軍作出相同的指控，伊拉克軍敗退後外國記者得以進入科威特現地採訪，美國ABC新聞記者訪問了當地科威特人指的確有嬰兒在戰亂間遇害，但伊拉克軍幾乎不可能有搶掠恆溫箱的理由令數百名嬰兒死去。國際特赦組織其後改口並指責老布殊政府是投機主義及操控國際人權運動。

奈伊拉的證詞被媒體廣泛宣傳，錄製了聽證會的偉達公共關係顧問公司向 MediaLink 發送了視頻新聞稿，MediaLink 是一家為美國約 700 家電視台提供服務的公司。當晚，證詞在ABC新聞的 Nightline 和 NBC Nightly News 播出，估計有 35 至 5300 萬美國人收聽。七名美國參議員在支持對伊拉克使用武力的演講中引用了納伊拉的證詞。在接下來的幾周里，布什總統至少重複了這個故事十次， 她對「暴行」的描述激起了美國人支持參與海灣戰爭的輿論。
伊拉克政府否認了這些指控。10月16日，時任伊拉克新聞部長拉蒂夫·納西夫·賈西姆（Latif Nassif al-Jassem）說︰「作為超級大國的總統，布什必須仔細權衡用語，而不是像小丑一樣只在重複他被告知的話。1990年10月21日，在伊拉克新聞部官員陪同下的記者訪問科威特，科威特一家產科醫院的醫生否認了恆溫箱指控。在訪問中，負責人阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼·穆罕默德·烏蓋利指，在伊拉克入侵後，巴格達已派出1000名醫生和其他醫療人員幫助管理科威特的14家醫院和保健中心。

The Prime Ministers of Spain and Denmark arrived in Kyiv on Thursday to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, their respective offices said.
After arriving in the Ukrainian capital, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen appeared together in a short video tweeted by Sanchez’s official account.
“Ukraine has the support, solidarity and commitment of Spain,” the post said.
Frederiksen’s office tweeted that she and Sanchez would “meet with President Zelensky to deliver concrete support to Ukraine.”
“Tthey will meet to discuss the current situation in Ukraine, further support for the Ukrainians and the prosecution of war crimes and human rights violations in connection with the Russian invasion,” Frederiksen’s office said in a statement.
Russia has denied allegations of war crimes and claims its forces do not target civilians, but CNN journalists on the ground in Ukraine have seen firsthand evidence of atrocities at multiple locations across the country.
Sanchez announced earlier this week that Spain would reopen its embassy in Kyiv in the coming days, which it had closed shortly after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February.

UN secretary-general will meet with Putin on April 26 in Moscow​

From CNN's Kristina Sgueglia

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres “will be received by President Vladimir Putin” on Tuesday, April 26 after having a working meeting and lunch with the foreign minister of Russia, the UN said.

"The Secretary-General will visit Moscow, Russian Federation, where, on 26 April, he will have a working meeting and lunch with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and will be received by President Vladimir Putin," according to a UN statement.

On Wednesday, a UN spokesperson said Guterres was requesting separate audiences with Putin in Moscow and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Ukraine to discuss the urgent need to bring about peace.

Guterres would like “to discuss urgent steps to bring about peace in Ukraine and the future of multilateralism based on the Charter of the United Nations and international law,” according to a statement from UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.

Zelensky says Blinken and Austin will visit Ukraine on Sunday, as diplomacy returns to Kyiv​

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will visit Kyiv on Sunday, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in what would be the first visit of high-level US officials to the embattled country since the war broke out.

The potential visit, which has not been confirmed by Washington, would come on the heels of several high-profile visits from European leaders to the capital and moves to reopen evacuated embassies.

United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson toured parts of the capital on foot alongside Zelensky on April 9, and European Union leaders visited the previous day.

The British government is expected to re-open its embassy next week, “dependent on the security situation,” its government confirmed, following an announcement from Johnson Friday. The European Union earlier this month said it too was restoring its diplomatic presence in the capital.

"I'm heading back. Looking forward to working in Kyiv #Ukraine️ again," UK Ambassador to Ukraine Melinda Simmons wrote on Twitter on Friday.

The shift comes after Moscow rerouted its focus away from the capital and to Ukraine's south and east, following intense Ukrainian defense in the areas surrounding Kyiv and Russian supply issues. Kyiv had for weeks braced for an attack of Russian forces, pushing embassies to close their operations there.

Ukraine's Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, speaking at a press conference in Washington on Friday, also called on ambassadors from all countries, including the United States, to return to their embassies in Kyiv.

The White House and State Department declined to comment Saturday potential visit from top US officials Blinken and Austin. CNN has reached out to the US Department of Defense for comment.

Last week, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that if an administration official were to visit Ukraine, the White House would not publicly disclose that information ahead of the time, citing security concerns.

The meeting between United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday lasted about an hour, Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for the secretary-general, said during a news briefing.

While part of the meeting included aides, part of the meeting was also one-on-one between Guterres and Putin, Haq said.

Haq also said that work to establish a humanitarian contact group and a specific effort with the Red Cross to assist people in Mariupol, Ukraine, will start “on the ground as soon as we can.”

“It is important to get this moving as quickly as we can, so that is what we’ll proceed to do,” Haq said.

UN chief says his meeting with Putin was "very useful"​

In his face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres said his message was unchanged from the start of the conflict: The Russian invasion is a breach of the UN Charter and it must end as quickly as possible.

Guterres, who is expected to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday, described his encounter with the Russian leader as “very useful.”
The secretary-general told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that he expressed his concerns about the violations of international law, human rights law and the “possibility of war crimes.”

Guterres defended the role of the UN in terms of bringing an end to the two-month-old conflict.

“The war will not end with meetings,” he said. “The war will end when the Russian Federation decides to end it and when there is – after a ceasefire – a possibility of a serious political agreement. We can have all the meetings but that is not what will end the war.”

During the meeting with Putin, Guterres said he discussed the evacuation of civilians from the steel factory encircled in the southern port city of Mariupol.
He said Putin agreed “in principle” on the evacuation of civilians and that discussions were taking place between UN officials and Russia’s ministry of defense to hammer out the details.

“We are also in contact with the government of Ukraine to see if we can have a situation in which nobody can blame the other side for things not happening,” he said.

War will continue until "Russia decides to end it," UN Secretary-General says​

The war in Ukraine will continue until "Russia decides to end it," the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres told CNN on Wednesday.

"The war will not end with meetings,” he told CNN's Anderson Cooper during a wide-ranging interview. "The war will end when the Russian Federation decides to end it and when there is – after a ceasefire – a possibility of a serious political agreement. We can have all the meetings but that is not what will end the war."

On Tuesday, Guterres traveled to Moscow for a one-on-one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss “proposals for humanitarian assistance and the evacuation of civilians” from conflict zones, namely the besieged city of Mariupol, according to a UN readout of the discussion.

As a result, Putin agreed “in principle” to allow the UN and the International Committee for the Red Cross to assist in the evacuation of citizens from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol, the last bastion of Ukrainian defense in the city.

Asked what role the UN intended to play in the investigations of war crimes allegedly carried out by Russian forces in the town of Bucha on the outskirts of Kyiv, Guterres reiterated his calls for an "independent investigation."

Some context: The Kremlin has denied any involvement in the mass killings of civilians in Ukraine while reiterating baseless claims that images of bodies on the streets of Bucha are "fake."

Evidence of mass graves in the towns of Bucha and Borodianka has continued to emerge since early April, following the withdrawal of Russian forces from the Kyiv region.
