  Foreign Affairs - Report from Afghanistan - Claude Malhuret
The duration and character of the war derive directly from the Soviet style of anti-guerrilla warfare.
Claude Malhuret is the executive director of the Paris-based Medecins sans Frontières.
This article is adapted from his address to a conference on "The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan: The Consequences for Afghanistan and the Soviet Union," held at the Russian Research Center of Harvard University on October 17, 1983.

 Observatoire de l'action humanitaire
-1978-1982, France: MSF is presided until 1980 by Claude Malhuret, a former member of the Unified Socialist Party (Michel Rocard’s PSU), then until 1982 by Xavier Emmanuelli who had been expelled from the Communist Party for having supported the Algerian independence fighters of the FLN (National Liberation Front).
The Libertés sans frontières Foundation, presided by Claude Malhuret, is dissolved in April 1989.
According to Olivier Weber, a journalist at Le Point, Claude Malhuret considers resigning because of his disagreement with the minister of Home Affairs, Charles Pasqua, whose anti-riot police provoked the death of a student, Malik Oussekine, during a demonstration in Paris in December 1986.

 Exploiting the Plasticity of Bone: A discussion in Three Paradigms
Claude Malhuret, part of a new MSF generation, had a vision of MSF during the late 1970s that included longer missions, improved organization and more efficient fund-raising.
Claude Malhuret (MSF Executive Director at the time) wrote that all of the volunteers had accepted the risk of the clandestine projects and with it the risk of isolation in the interior of the country and the danger of being surprised in combat, imprisoned, wounded or worse.
Malhuret, on behalf of MSF, denounced the Soviet style of anti-guerrilla warfare where part of the central strategy was to target civilians.

 MSF-USA: Volunteering In the Field - The Médecins Sans Frontières Experience
Malhuret and his generation were concerned about the technical insufficiency of MSF interventions in refugee camps.
Although they did not underestimate the media and symbolic interest of this initiative, both for the refugees and MSF, Claude Malhuret and MSF cofounder Xavier Emmanuelli nevertheless disputed its technical legitimacy: they considered a single ship insufficient to receive the host of refugees whom its presence encouraged to flee.
Both the growth of the original section in France and the creation of new sections was partly due to a favorable international context in the beginning of the 1980s and to successful technical and strategic choices made by the organization.

He worked as a medic for the Red Cross (Croix Rouge) in Biafra in 1968.
He founded Médecins Sans Frontières in 1971, then Médecins du Monde in 1980 due to a conflict of opinion with Claude Malhuret director of MSF.
He has been in favor for a long time of the concept of Humanitarian interference.

 Kubatana - Archive - Dangerous Pity - David Rieff - Jun 27, 2005
For MSF, the decision of aid agencies, UN institutions and donor governments to help a totalitarian project like the Ethiopian resettlement programme was an exercise in deadly compassion and dangerous pity.
As Claude Malhuret put it, Ethiopia demonstrated that it had become imperative to "clarify the complex relations that humanitarian action forms with a totalitarian regime; to mark out the indistinct but very real limit beyond which aid to victims was unwittingly transformed into support to their executioners."
Geldof remains unimpressed by the idea that the aid he helped to raise was used in ways that may have cost as many lives-in MSF's view, more-as were saved.

 ROBERT FAURISSON: My Life as a Revisionist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Claude Lanzmann was distressed by the lack of success in France of his film Shoah, and by the impossibility of attacking me in court for the text (full of factual proof and references) that I had devoted to that propaganda landmark.
The journalist is always a witness to his times, and in that sense Claude Lanzmann has done an admirable job as a journalist, for ten years gathering the most frightening testimonies, not only from the victims, but from their butchers, and from the Poles living near the camps.
In December 1987 Claude Lanzmann is to participate in the international conference at the Sorbonne organized by Madame Ahrweiler and directed against the French Revisionists.

 TIME Magazine Archive Article -- World Notes Ethiopia -- Feb. 10, 1986
A report issued by Doctors Without Borders, a Paris-based group that sends medical personnel to trouble spots around the world, charges that the Ethiopian government's efforts to resettle 575,000 famine-stricken peasants from the country's northern highlands may have left as many as 100,000 refugees dead.
Says Author Claude Malhuret: "There can be no doubt that today resettlement is the biggest killer in Ethiopia, not famine." The report is based on eyewitness accounts of relief workers and surveys conducted in Sudan among Ethiopian refugees by Cultural Survival, a U.S. human rights group.
It alleges that many peasants were taken against their will, sometimes at gunpoint, and trucked south, only to be left on uncleared land with inadequate rations.

Claude Malhuret of the Medecins Sans Frontiers Organization reported that the Ethiopian Government re-directed foreign aid to finance a huge resettlement program.
Malhuert went on to say "International assistance is being used in such a way that is killing more people than it is saving" (Bandow, 476).

 Vichy in fight to escape shadow of collaboration
A local deputy, M Gérard Charasse, is pressing for a parliamentary commission to come up with a new name for the collaborationist state which would free the town of its guilt by association.
At the same time the mayor, Claude Malhuret, has petitioned the Academie Française to make a distinction in its next dictionary between Vichyssois (inhabitants of the town) and Vichystes (supporters of the regime).
Dominique Lagrange, director of communications for the town, said yesterday: "It's very annoying to be associated with events that have nothing to do with you."

Initially, few people came forward when the authorities in Ethiopia called for volunteers for the resettlement plan.

French MP and former Secretary of State for Human Rights Claude Malhuret summed up the situation in a recent interview with RFI: "The Cambodian People's Party (CPP), who lost the election, has power in all areas--army, administration and at the local level.
Today, the opposition is muzzled, there are more and more attacks against the press, Phnom Penh has become a major drug trafficking center in South East Asia.
If they are not yet aware, they will have to face the problem very soon." Malhuret noted that the dismissal of former finance minister Sam Rainsy from parliament and the "rigged trial" of former foreign minister Norodom Sirivudh's have been maneuvers for a final takeover by the communists.

One final irony is that Claude Malhuret, the Secretary of State charged with the defense of the Rights of Man, said, in response to Le Pen, that "the gas chambers are one of the keys to the history of the 20th century" (Libération, 15 September 1987, page 6).

Though some MSF leaders fear such high-profile recognition may threaten those ideals, the award seems much more likely to reinforce its effectiveness.
"The legitimacy that the Nobel Prize confers," says former MSF president Claude Malhuret, "will permit this association to have much more weight, much more presence and influence over events." For victims of future wars, atrocities and disasters around the world, that is good news.
