This will be short.
After the Kunduz hospital bombing of 3 October, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) called on the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission (IHFFC) for an independent international investigation. (This is the only permanent body set up specifically to investigate violations of international humanitarian law.) The IHFFC has agreed but requires the consent of the Afghan and U.S. governments before it can proceed. MSF have therefore started a petition at change.org calling on President Obama to consent to an independent investigation.
They’re shooting for 100,000 signers; as I write they’re at about 7500, an increase of about 3000 since I signed a little earlier today.
