Ndugu wa Wahanga wa mlipuko uliotokea Beirut Agosti 2020, walionusurika tukio hilo pamoja na Mashirika ya Haki za Binadamu wametaka kufanyika uchunguzi huru chini ya usimamizi wa Umoja wa Mataifa (UN).
Wamesema Uchunguzi wa ndani umekuwa unakwamishwa mara mwa mara na umeshindwa kufikia vigezo kulingana na viwango vya kimataifa vilivyowekwa na Taratibu Maalum za UN.
Mlipuko kwenye Bandari Mjini Beirut ulisababisha vifo vya takriban watu 214 na kujeruhi maelfu wengine.

Human rights groups, survivors and relatives of victims of the Lebanon port blast are urging the United Nations to back an international, independent and impartial probe, bypassing a local probe that has yet to yield significant arrests or even identify a culprit.
A total of 145 signatories – including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International – called on the UN Human Rights Council on Wednesday to establish “an international, independent and impartial investigative mission, such as a one-year fact-finding mission”.
In a joint letter, the signatories argued that the domestic investigation has been repeatedly obstructed and “failed in meeting the benchmarks, based on international standards, that were laid out by the UN Special Procedures”.
The UN Special Procedures’ experts had issued a statement in August 2020 laying out benchmarks, based on international human rights standards, for a credible inquiry into the explosion.
