A new United Nations report that details alleged “serious” human rights violations committed by the defunct M23 group in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been met with opposition by the former rebels.
The report by the Joint Office of the UN for Human Rights in the DR Congo (JHRO) was published last week by the UN. However, former M23 members have expressed their fear that its implementation will scale back ongoing efforts by various actors to bring back peace to the vast nation.
