Red Cross condemns Iraq abuses: "'As hostilities continue in Falluja and elsewhere, every day seems to bring news of yet another act of utter contempt for the most basic tenet of humanity: the obligation to protect human life and dignity,' Pierre Kraehenbuehl, the International Committee of the Red Cross operations director, said.
'We are deeply concerned by the devastating impact that the fighting in Iraq is having,' he said. Kraehenbuehl stressed that international humanitarian law prohibits killing anyone who is not actively taking part in combat - or has ceased to do so. "
