UN to report next month on reaction to South Sudan hotel attack

UNITED NATIONS, Aug 23 (Reuters) United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon appointed a former Dutch major general today to lead a monthlong inquiry into the response by peacekeepers to some attacks on civilians, including at a hotel, during violence in South Sudan's capital last month.
Patrick Cammaert "will review reports of incidents of attacks on civilians and cases of sexual violence that occurred within or in the vicinity of the UN House Protection of Civilians sites in Juba," UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
The inquiry will determine whether the UN peacekeeping mission in South Sudan responded appropriately to those incidents and an attack on Juba's Hotel Terrain during several days of fighting between troops loyal to President Salva Kiir and those backing former Vice President Riek Machar last month.
