Inquiry team arrives to examine UN role during genocide

    NAIROBI

    An independent inquiry commission to examine the UN's role and actions in Rwanda before and after the 1994 genocide arrived in Kigali on Wednesday on a fact-finding mission, humanitarian sources in the Rwandan capital told IRIN on Thursday. The commission, led by former Swedish Prime Minister, Ingvar Carlson, was set up in May by the UN Security Council at the suggestion of Secretary-General Kofi Annan and is to deliver a report by the end of the year.
