The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has appointed an official from Netherlands to lead an independent investigation into the fighting last month in Juba.

Major General Patrick Cammaert will also lead investigations into the response of the UN mission in the country UNMISS.

According to a statement from Mr. Ban Ki Moon’s office, the investigation will review reports of attacks on civilians and cases of sexual violence within or in the neighborhood of the UN House in Juba.

The investigation will also look at the actions of UNMISS and whether the mission responded appropriately to prevent these incidents and protect civilians within its resources and capabilities at the time.

The UN said it will also review the circumstances surrounding the attack on the Terrain Hotel on the 11^th of July and assess the mission’s response.

Last week, preliminary findings by a fact finding team of UNMISS indicated that one person was killed and several civilians were raped and brutally beaten by men in uniform.

Retired Major General Cammaert was the Force Commander in the UN Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea.

Recently, he led a Headquarters-Board of Inquiry on the circumstances of the clashes in February at the UN camp.

The UN says Retired Major General Cammaert will present his final report on the recent fighting in Juba to the UN Secretary-General within one month. It also said the findings will be made public.
