Storyline

United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Hervé Ladsous, arrived today (28 Mar) in Central-African Republic’s capital Bangui, for the inauguration ceremony of the newly elected President, Faustin-Archange Touadera.

The ceremony is expected to take place on Wednesday. During his visit, the UN peacekeeping chief will meet with the national authorities to discuss the political process as well as their views on the country's relationship with the peacekeeping mission there.

Ladsous will also meet with the mission's leadership as well as senior UN police and military commanders to address the issues of security, performance and conduct, including sexual exploitation and abuse.

A delegation led by the Secretary-General's Deputy Special Representative for the Central African Republic Diane Corner visited Kemo prefecture Monday (28 Mar) to gather more information on new allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse.

Delegation members included UN personnel from the conduct and discipline team, the human rights unit, as well as representatives of the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF).
