Example 1: MONUSCO 2013
In May 2013 the United Nations Joint Human Rights Office (UNJHRO) released
a report on violations perpetrated by soldiers of the Congolese armed forces
and combatants of the M23 in Goma and Saké, North Kivu, and in and around
Minova, South Kivu. The findings of the report were the result of monitoring
activities of several field investigations conducted by the UNJHRO during which
more than 350 interviews were conducted with victims and witnesses. In the
scope of their investigations in Minova, UNJHRO staff also interviewed military
authorities to hear their version of the events. Staff held follow-up meetings with
military judicial authorities from North and South Kivu and provided support to
those authorities in the scope of their investigations into violations.83
