UNITED NATIONS, June 23 (Xinhua) — United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday condemned an attack by unidentified gunmen on a United Nations peacekeeping patrol in the Central African Republic (CAR) on Friday, his spokesman said.
The attack, which took place in Vakaga prefecture, left a Zambian peacekeeper dead and another wounded.
Noting that attacks on UN peacekeepers may constitute war crimes under international law, A. Guterres called on the CAR authorities to make every effort to identify those responsible so that they are promptly brought to justice, according to a statement from spokesman Stephane Dujarric.
The Secretary-General expressed his deepest condolences to the family of the deceased peacekeeper, the Government and the people of Zambia, and wished the wounded soldier a speedy and full recovery, the statement said. –0–
