Storyline

The head of UN peacekeeping Jean-Pierre Lacroix today (20 Dec) arrived in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic (CAR), for a three-day mission.

Speaking to media on arrival, he called his visit a visit of solidarity and support with Central Africans. Lacroix is scheduled to meet with the national authorities, civil society, peacekeepers and others, and he will also travel to Birao.

And at an event taking place earlier today in Bangui, the head of our peacekeeping mission there, Valentine Rugwabiza, reiterated the commitment of the United Nations to continue its partnership with the Special Criminal Court in that country.

As such, the Mission is continuing its financial support to the Court’s activities with nearly USD 5 million until the end of 2024, a commitment welcomed at the event by the Central African authorities.

The Special Criminal Court was set up in 2015 to investigate and prosecute serious international crimes committed since 2003.
