UNSC condemns fresh attack in Mali

United Nations, Apr 7 (UNI) The United Nations Security Council has condemned “in the strongest terms” the attack on a vehicle of the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) that killed a Nigerien peacekeeper in Gao.
“The members of the Security Council expressed their deepest condolences and sympathy to the family of the victim, as well as to the Government of Niger and to MINUSMA,” the Council said in a statement late on Friday evening paying tribute to the peacekeepers who risk their lives and calling on the Malian Government to swiftly investigate the attack and bring the perpetrators to justice.
“Attacks targeting peacekeepers may constitute war crimes under international law,” the statement underlined, stressing that “involvement in planning, directing, sponsoring or conducting attacks against MINUSMA peacekeepers constitute a basis for sanctions designations pursuant to United Nations Security Council resolutions.”
