<p>The UK led efforts to secure a UN-mandated protection force to support the Intergovernmental
Authority on Development's (IGAD) Monitoring and Verification Teams’ safe operation
across South Sudan. In addition, we have committed £1.2 million of support to IGAD
for the Monitoring and Verification Teams’ work, including assistance with logistical
and transport capacity. As I did with the South Sudanese Foreign Minister, Dr Barnaba
Benjamin, during the UN General Assembly in New York in September, we continue to
stress to all sides that obstructing the work of the Monitoring and Verification Teams
constitutes a violation of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement.</p>
