Anna Lindh on the fact-finding mission to Jenin "Sweden deeply regrets that the Israeli government has acted so that the Secretary-General's fact-finding mission will be unable to investigate events in Jenin", says Minister for Foreign Affairs, Anna Lindh.
"The Israeli government flouts the decision taken by a unanimous Security Council in Resolution 1405.
In doing so, the country shows lack of respect for the United Nations, which represents the basis of the international legal system.
Suspicions grow that the Israeli armed forces have committed serious crimes against humanitarian law in Jenin", continues Anna Lindh.
"Israel's government has chosen a course of action that risks placing the country outside the rest of the world community.
This is both unfortunate and ominous", summarises the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Swedish PM tries to ease tensions after Foreign Minister slams Israel
By GIL HOFFMAN Jerusalem Post August 7, 2002
Swedish Prime Minister Goran Persson attempted to ease tensions between his country and Israel Wednesday, after comments by Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh raised the ire of Foreign Ministry officials.
The report in Monday's Jerusalem Post, in which Foreign Ministry officials accused Lindh of bias against Israel, made the top of the news on Swedish television Tuesday night, after the report was picked up by a Swedish news agency.
When reporters covering Persson's visit to the Swedish island of Oland asked the prime minister about Israel's criticism of Lindh, he responded that the dispute was probably due to a translation error.
The diplomatic episode began when Lindh responded to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's report on the IDF's operations in the Jenin refugee camp in an official press release of the Swedish Foreign Ministry.
"Israel's refusal to cooperate with the UN has meant that a full and comprehensive report has not been possible to produce," Lindh said.
"The report shows that serious crimes against humanitarian law have occurred," she said.
"Particularly disturbing is the report's information on Israel denying access to humanitarian personnel to the areas in which fighting occurred.
The violence of both sides has caused great civilian suffering."
Israeli Foreign Ministry officials responded with "anger and astonishment" at the statement and alleged that it is part of a long string of anti-Israel comments made by Lindh.
The officials accused the Swedish foreign minister of lacking the courage to admit that she exaggerated in previous statements in which she spoke of "rumors of a massacre in Jenin."
The charges d'affaires in the Swedish Embassy in Tel Aviv, Erika Ferrer, spoke with Foreign Ministry officials about the report and clarified that the statements, as reported, did not accurately reflect Lindh's point of view.
"We have a problem in general in the Israeli media of things being taken out of context," Ferrer explained.
"The embassy wants to make clear that Lindh has come out strongly against terrorism and considers herself fair to both sides."
The Israeli Foreign Ministry replied that it based its response on the official press release in English of Lindh's statements, as published by the Swedish Foreign Ministry.
