Pager attacks: Lebanon files formal complaint with International Labor Organization
Lebanon’s labor minister announced on Wednesday that the country has filed a complaint with the International Labor Organization (ILO) over deadly pager explosions in Lebanon in September.
Moustafa Bayram described the attacks as an “egregious war against humanity, against technology, against work,”.
In a press briefing in Geneva, he said that over 4,000 civilians were killed, injured, and maimed in a matter of minutes, setting what he called a very dangerous precedent.
Although Israel has not officially accepted responsibility for the series of attacks, the minister said: “It has become widely accepted that Israel was behind this heinous act.””
Bayram said Lebanon is raising and underlining this issue because it runs contrary to work environment, security and safety, principles defended by the ILO.
