GENEVA (Reuters) - The Democratic Republic of Congo has requested an emergency session of the U.N. Human Rights Council to discuss the situation in the eastern city of Goma after it was seized by Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, a U.N. spokesperson said on Tuesday.
Congo requested the session, which is still subject to approval, to take place on Feb. 7 in Geneva.
