No. of Paragraph 14

"We call on the South Sudanese government to immediately investigate the death of the two peacekeepers and hold those responsible accountable," said USUN Ambassador Wood.

“Sadly, South Sudan’s leaders have yet to fulfill their commitments to the South Sudanese people,” said Ambassador Robert Wood, Alternative Representative for Special Political Affairs, at the United Nations. He urged the transitional government to implement the necessary preparations for elections regarding the constitution-making process, the type and number of elections, voter registration, the inclusion of displaced people, an election security plan, an election dispute resolution mechanism, and an election timeline.

“In light of the failure of South Sudanese leaders to demonstrate the political will required to hold free and fair elections, the United States,” said Ambassador Wood, “reiterates its position that allocating further financial resources for election preparations absent urgent action by the transitional government sends the wrong message.”

“Assessed contributions should not be supporting an electoral process that – without urgent action by the transitional government – will not be free, fair, or credible. Future funding must be accompanied by a renewed push on the South Sudan peace process, and improved humanitarian access.”
