The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights is calling on the international community to put more pressure on both the government and the SPLM in Opposition to prevent further revenge attacks.

Navi Pillay says atrocities have been committed in the recent clashes in Bentiu and other parts of the Country.

Speaking at a news conference today, Ms. Pillay said South Sudanese leaders should take action to prevent further Human Rights abuses.

“It is essential that the South Sudanese people and the international community press on the country political leaders that they must stop blindly dragging their people down the path of self-destructions,” said Ms Pillay.

Ms. Pillay and the United Nations Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide have been on mission to South to assess Human Rights Situation.
