Published online by Cambridge University Press:  13 January 2010

Extract

The following statement was communicated to the press by the ICRC with regard to its recent mission to Bizerta.

August 29, 1961.—In connection with an enquiry which the Tunisian Government proposes to undertake concerning violations of the law of nations of which Tunisian nationals are alleged to have been victims during the recent events in Bizerta, a certain number of newspapers inaccurately quoted the statement made by a spokesman of the ICRC by saying that: “it did not propose to take part in such an enquiry which would obviously be used for political ends.”
