UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- The Security Council on Friday condemned the assault, detention, and abuse of international cease-fire monitors in South Sudan by government forces.
The members of the Security Council stressed that the harassment of the staff of the Cease-fire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring and Verification Mechanism on Tuesday in Luri, South Sudan, was a flagrant violation of relevant peace agreements.
They underscored that the incident brings into question the commitment of the South Sudanese government to ensuring its forces comply with the peace agreements.
The council members called on the government to investigate this incident immediately and hold accountable those responsible.
