The . Embassy confirmed that an american was missing and that International organizations had been contacted but would release no other details at the request of his family.

Although run by the . Military Kero took bids from civilian contractors to carry out More than $400 million in reconstruction work most of it done by seven american British and Arab firms. Avoyer said his office was working through red Cross channels to get its iraqi Branch to confirm Cordes whereabouts. A if he is there he should be visited by the i arc. We consider him protected by the Geneva conventions a Avoyer said.

Rights from Page 1 co dance with the Law of armed conflict. A we carefully selected targets to minimize collateral damage and civilian casualties. Many times american pilots put themselves at greater risk than necessary to avoid civilian injuries and collateral damage a she said. The report also contains harsh criticism of iraqis missile attacks against population centers in saudi Arabia and Israel but the bulk of the report involves the Allied actions. Middle East watch said its findings were primarily based on interviews with iraqi residents of various nationalities who fled to Jordan during the bombing. Most were asian or african labourers. The report evaluated Allied conduct under the Laws of War primarily the standards of the first additional protocol of 1977 to the 1949 Geneva conventions.

While we at the Republican National committee do not celebrate a Victory for the democrats a Yeutter said a a we do happily accept the voters decision to push away David  onry provided an a exceptional Opportunity to conduct the bombing Campaign in a manner that would avoid civilian casualties. But despite the allies Legal obligation to take All feasible precaution to avoid civilian casualties the report said a the actual conduct of the War fell Short of this obligation in several significant  the Allied commanders apparently chose a to take less than the maximum feasible precautions necessary to avoid harm to civilians a it said. For example the allies sometimes attacked during the Day in Urban areas the report said. Daytime attacks were made against Bridges an underwear manufacturing Plant and an Oil storage tank in which hundreds of civilians were killed. A in such cases it was inevitable that the civilian casualty toll would be higher than if the same targets were bombed at night when iraqis typically were at Home or in shelters a the report said. The allies also deployed a unguided bombs a although they possessed smart bombs known for up to 90 percent precision the report said. Turning to the allies Choice of targets the report criticized a feb. 13 bombing of a civil defense shelter in Baghdad in which 200 to 300 civilians reportedly were killed. The United states said the facility was being used As a military control Center but Middle East watch said that there was no conclusive evidence of that. The report also criticized attacks on government food warehouses in Baghdad a Dairy factory North of Basra and flour Milting and water treatment facilities.
