<p>On 23 June the UN Human Rights Council agreed by consensus to establish an international
investigation into the violence and human rights violations and abuses and violations
of international humanitarian law in the Kasai regions of the Democratic Republic
of the Congo. The text of the resolution establishing the investigation states that
it should be carried out “in accordance with international standards and practice”,
which will ensure that the investigation is impartial and independent. During the
negotiations the UK worked closely with other members of the Human Rights Council
to ensure that a consensus could be found that both ensured the independence of the
investigation and recognised the importance of national investigations into the violence.</p>
