The Minister of Defense says his office has not received a notification from the UN that two SPLA soldiers contributed to the killing of civilians in Malakal in February.
On Wednesday, an investigation by the UN said that the immediate cause for the violence was an attempt by two SPLA soldiers to smuggle ammunitions into the site.
The Investigation also concluded that gunmen from outside the camp, some in SPLA uniforms, entered the base during the period and took part in the violence and destruction of parts of the site.
The findings by a UN board of inquiry indicate that 30 people were killed, some 123 others wounded, and sections of the camp destroyed.
Kuol Manyang Juk told Eye Radio that action could be taken against the individual soldiers if there is evidence.
“Nobody is above the law. If there is evidence provided, then definitely they will be taken to court,” Minister Manyang told Eye Radio.
The UN says it will act against peacekeepers, who were confused on how to respond.
The Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Hervé Ladsous, made the remark after what he described as “very extensive” closed-door consultations with the UN Security Council on Tuesday.
