June 1, 2016(Nyamilepedia) —— The following excerpts are from the 10-paged report of the United Nations Security Council, unanimously adopted on May 31 2015, to closely monitor South Sudan peace implementation. The document strongly welcomes many resolutions adopted by the IGAD, JMEC and the warring parties in search of peace in the last two years but equally emphasises the seriousness of the council to impose sanctions, asset freeze, travel ban and arms embargo on key leaders who will continue to fun the war through bad policies, unilitarel decisions, human rights violations and war crimes.

Condemning the Use of Media to Broadcast Hate Speech

“Strongly condemning the use of media to broadcast hate speech and transmit messages instigating sexual violence against a particular ethnic group, which has the potential to play a significant role in promoting mass violence and exacerbating conflict, and calling on the TGNU to take appropriate measures to address such activity, and further urging all parties to desist from these actions and instead contribute to promoting peace and reconciliation among the communities,”

“Determining that the situation in South Sudan continues to constitute a threat to international peace and security in the region,
