The head of the police component of the UN peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), Mamouma Ouédraogo – appointed late last year – was at UN Headquarters in the past few days, taking part in the Police Week.
The gathering reunites senior police officers from peacekeeping operations and staffers from the UN’s special political missions.
In an interview with UN News’s Jérôme Bernard, she outlined the support provided by MONUSCO’s police component to the Congolese national police and explained the measures being taken to address human rights violations, particularly sexual violence.
