Médecins Sans Frontières ex Wiki
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) (pronounced
[medsɛ̃ sɑ̃ fʁɔ̃tjɛʁ] (
listen)), also known as Doctors Without Borders, is an
international
humanitarian
non-governmental organization (NGO) best known for its projects in
war-torn regions and
developing countries affected by
endemic diseases. In 2015, over 30,000 personnel — mostly local doctors,
nurses and other medical professionals, logistical experts, water and
sanitation engineers and administrators — provided medical aid in over 70
countries.[1]
The vast majority of staff are volunteers. Private donors provide about 90%
of the organization's funding, while corporate donations provide the rest,
giving MSF an annual budget of approximately US$750 million.[2]
Médecins Sans Frontières was founded in 1971, in the aftermath of the Biafra secession, by a small group of French doctors and journalists who sought to expand accessibility to medical care across national boundaries and irrespective of race, religion, creed or political affiliation.[3] To that end, the organisation emphasises "independence and impartiality", and explicitly precludes political, economic, or religious factors in its decision making. For these reasons, it limits the amount of funding received from governments or intergovernmental organisation. These principles have allowed MSF to speak freely with respect to acts of war, corruption, or other hindrances to medical care or human well-being. Only once in its history, during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, has the organisation called for military intervention.
MSF's principles and operational guidelines are highlighted in its Charter,[4] the Chantilly Principles, and the later La Mancha Agreement.[5] Governance is addressed in Section 2 of the Rules portion of this final document. MSF has an associative structure, where operational decisions are made, largely independently, by the five operational centres (Amsterdam, Barcelona-Athens, Brussels, Geneva and Paris). Common policies on core issues are coordinated by the International Council, in which each of the 24 sections (national offices) is represented. The International Council meets in Geneva, Switzerland, where the International Office, which coordinates international activities common to the operational centres, is also based.
MSF has general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. It received the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of its members' continued efforts to provide medical care in acute crises, as well as raising international awareness of potential humanitarian disasters.[6] James Orbinski, who was the president of the organization at the time, accepted the prize on behalf of MSF. Prior to this, MSF also received the 1996 Seoul Peace Prize.[7] Joanne Liu has served as the international president since 1 October 2013.
MSF should not be confused with Médecins du Monde (Doctors of the World), which was was formed in part by members of the former organisation, but is an entirely independent non-governmental organisation with no links to MSF today.
NGOs are smuggling immigrants into Europe on an industrial scale
QUOTE
For two months, using
www.marinetraffic.com, we have been monitoring the movements of
ships owned by a couple of NGOs, and, using data from
data2.unhcr.org.
We have kept track of the daily arrivals of African immigrants in
Italy. It turned out we were witness of a big scam and an illegal human
traffic operation.
NGOs [
Non-government organization ], smugglers, the
mafia in
cahoots with the European Union have shipped
thousands of illegals into Europe under the pretext of rescuing people,
assisted by the Italian coast guard which coordinated their activities.
NGOs, smugglers, the mafia in cahoots with the European Union have shipped thousands of illegals into Europe under the pretext of rescuing people, assisted by the Italian coast guard which coordinated their activities.
Human traffickers contact the Italian coast guard in advance to receive support and to pick up their dubious cargo. NGO ships are directed to the “rescue spot” even as those to be rescued are still in Libya. The 15 ships that we observed are owned or leased by NGOs have regularly been seen to leave their Italian ports, head south, stop short of reaching the Libyan coast, pick up their human cargo, and take course back 260 miles to Italy even though the port of Zarzis in Tunis is just 60 miles away from the rescue spot.
The organizations in question are: MOAS, Jugend Rettet, Stichting Bootvluchteling, Médecins Sans Frontières,
NGOs Armada operating off the coast of Libya
Since 2015 more and more private NGOs are involved in the illegal migrant ferrying from Libya to Italy. They all claim to be on a rescuing mission, but are they? “We can now confirm that at least 3,800 people have died, making 2016 the deadliest ever,” William Spindler, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), declared last week..........
