UN Group of Experts Report on the Democratic Republic of Congo
22 November 2012
Foreign Secretary William Hague and Secretary of State for
International Development Justine Greening: "We judge the overall body
of evidence of Rwandan involvement with M23 in the DRC to be credible
and compelling."
Following the publication of the UN Group of
Experts report on the DRC yesterday, Foreign Secretary William Hague,
and Secretary of State for International Development Justine Greening
said:
“The Security Council discussed on 21 November the new UN
Group of Experts report, which presented evidence of the Government of
Rwanda and individuals within Uganda supporting the rebel group M23. All
such support is unacceptable, damaging to the security of the region,
and in direct contravention of UN Security Council 2076, which demands
that any and all outside support to the M23 cease immediately.
“We judge the overall body of evidence of Rwandan involvement with M23
in the DRC to be credible and compelling. We will be studying the
implications of this report in full, but these allegations will
necessarily be a key factor in future aid decisions to the Government of
Rwanda.
“We note that alleged Ugandan involvement is assessed
to be of a lower intensity and less systemic than Rwanda’s. We call on
both countries to respond in full to the report’s findings, and to
engage openly and constructively with the UN process.
“The UK
is greatly concerned about the escalating situation in eastern DRC and
the plight of its civilian population. We repeat our calls for the
immediate withdrawal of the M23 from Goma, the restoration of State
authority of the Government of the DRC in Goma and in North-Kivu, and
the end to attacks on the civilian population.
“We welcome the
efforts of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region
(ICGLR) chaired by the Government of Uganda in bringing together
regional countries in an attempt to find a way forward. We welcome the
meeting yesterday of the ICGLR Foreign Ministers and urge them to
continue to take every opportunity to find a swift and sustainable
solution. Mr Simmonds, FCO Minister for Africa, arrived in the region
yesterday to ensure the UK is doing everything it can to support a
solution.”
