Interview With Bernard Kouchner Flying Over Africa. Part I

Thursday, July 16, 2015

When asked whether humanitarian intervention is effective, Bernard Kouchner responds, “Medical doctors cannot accept massacres, just cannot. But that’s why, for me, the humanitarian conception is always a bit political. Protecting the people is political and of course, the humanitarian access is difficult. My answer is: Yes we have to protect, yes we have to act by prevention and, yes we have to act by information and education.”
