WASHINGTON, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–June 12, 2012. As the U.N. Security Council reassesses the mandate for the world’s second largest peacekeeping operation, the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or MONUSCO, it must address the serious gap in the implementation of its civilian protection strategy. MONUSCO’s next mandate, due for renewal on June 30, 2012, must allow the mission to deploy an early warning human rights monitoring service, improve patrols to go out into communities, and create rapid reaction Joint Protection Teams, according to a new Enough Project brief.
