    UN South Sudan peacekeeping review urges support for political process

    UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- A latest review of the United Nations peacekeeping operation in South Sudan has found that reaching a political solution to the ongoing conflict is the most effective way to protect civilians, a senior UN official said Tuesday.

    "A sustainable political resolution of the conflict is also the only avenue to chalk out a viable exit strategy" for the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations Bintou Keita told the UN Security Council, urging a renewed focus on supporting the political process.

    UNMISS was established in 2011 as a capacity building tool to assist the South Sudan government that lacked the capability to deliver services to its people, she said.

    However, following the December 2013 outbreak of violence, UNMISS evolved into a mission whose main focus was to protect civilians.

    "This requirement unfortunately remains valid," she said, noting that tens of thousands of civilians are estimated to have been killed since the conflict began while over 4 million have been displaced, half of whom are now refugees in neighboring countries.

    As documented once again by the Human Rights Council Commission of Inquiry which published its report last Friday, human rights violations and abuses, including horrific incidents of sexual violence, have reached alarming levels, and impunity for these crimes remains the norm, Keita said. Moreover, over 200,000 internally displaced people continue to be protected on UNMISS bases with the assistance of humanitarian partners.

    The review found that largely over 50 percent of the mission's uniformed personnel are currently devoted to protecting these sites.

    These sites only cover a fraction of the South Sudanese civilians in need of protection.

    "There are no easy answers to this dilemma. There will never be enough troops to protect both the 'protection of civilians' sites and extend UNMISS's protection footprint to other areas of large displacements, in a country as large as South Sudan," she said.

    Increasing the effectiveness of protection efforts beyond these sites will need to continue being a major priority of the mission, notably through the development of an integrated and "people focused" system-wide protection approach, aimed at filling existing gaps, generating synergies and removing duplication and thus possible wastage of resources.

    Since the Security Council decision in August 2016 to deploy the Regional Protection Force (RPF), the security condition in Juba has changed substantially. Today, while the risk of instability and violence remains, the threat of military conflict in the capital has considerably diminished.

    The current environment of Juba, therefore, may call for some adjustment of the RPF mandate, Keita said.
