UNITED NATIONS, July 13 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned Monday's attack on UN peacekeepers in the Central African Republic (CAR), in which a peacekeeper from Rwanda was killed and two others were wounded.
The secretary-general expressed his deepest condolences to the family of the victim as well as to the people and government of Rwanda, and wished a speedy recovery to the injured, said Stephane Dujarric, Guterres' spokesman, in a statement.
The secretary-general recalled that attacks against UN peacekeepers may constitute war crimes under international law. He called on the CAR authorities to spare no effort in identifying the perpetrators of this attack so that they can be brought to justice swiftly, said the statement.
Guterres reaffirmed that the United Nations will continue to support national efforts to advance peace and stability in the CAR, it said. Enditem
