DR Congo: Security Council condemns attack against UN peacekeeping mission
In a press statement issued on Thursday, the 15-member body called on the Congolese Government to swiftly investigate all attacks against the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO), and bring the perpetrators to justice.
The Council underlined that attacks targeting peacekeepers may constitute war crimes under international law.
It also expressed its deepest condolences and sympathy to the family of the peacekeeper that was killed, as well as to the Government of Tanzania and MONUSCO, and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
