UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon appointed a former Dutch major general on Tuesday to lead a month long 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 U.N. House Protection of Civilians sites in Juba," U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
