SECURITY COUNCIL CALLS ON PARTIES IN AFRICA'S GREAT LAKES REGION TO
FULFIL COMMITMENTS FOR PEACENew York, Sep 12 2013 5:00PMThe Security
Council today voiced concern over the security situation in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and called on all parties in
the Great Lakes region to fulfil their commitment to achieve lasting
peace.

In a <"http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2013/sc11119.doc.htm">statement,
members of the Council reiterated their support for the implementation
of the commitments under the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework
for the DRC and the region, and called upon all signatories "to fulfil
their commitments in good faith, which is essential to achieving
lasting peace and security in eastern DRC and the Great Lakes region."

The framework was signed earlier this year under UN auspices as a
comprehensive approach to sustainable peace in the region. The Special
Envoy of the Secretary-General to the region, Mary Robinson, has
dubbed the accord a "framework of hope," and has stressed it
represents a renewed opportunity to address the underlying causes of
the conflict and stop the violence for good.

The 15-member body also commended the recent joint visit of Ms.
Robinson and the Secretary-General's Special Representative of on the
situation in eastern DRC, Martin Kobler, to the city of Goma, as well
as Rwanda and Uganda, to bolster peace in the region. Also on that
trip were Special Representatives of the UN, African Union, European
Union, and United States.

"In this regard, the members of the Council looked forward to the
upcoming meeting of the Regional Oversight Mechanism scheduled to take
place on 23 September in New York," the statement said.

The M23 – composed of soldiers who mutinied from the DRC national army
in April – along with other armed groups, has clashed repeatedly with
the DRC national forces (FARDC).

In the past year, the fighting has displaced more than 100,000 people,
exacerbating an ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region which
includes 2.6 million internally displaced persons and 6.4 million in
need of food and emergency aid.Sep 12 2013 5:00PM
