UN chief should launch international probe over Khashoggi murder: rights
expert
GENEVA, June 19, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – United Nations Secretary General Antonio
Guterres should launch an international criminal investigation into the
killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi last October, an independent
rights expert said Wednesday.
In a fresh report on the killing, UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial,
summary or arbitrary executions Agnes Callamard urged Guterres to “initiate a
follow-up criminal investigation into the killing of Mr. Khashoggi to build-
up strong files on each of the alleged perpetrators and identify mechanisms
for formal accountability, such as an ad hoc or hybrid tribunal.”
