African Union to Release South Sudan Report, Establish War Court

African leaders agreed to release a delayed report into South Sudan’s civil war and backed the establishment of an African-led hybrid court to try war-crimes suspects.

The African Union Commission of Inquiry probe found that civilians had been mostly targeted in the conflict, now in its 22nd month, and that both the government and rebel forces committed numerous atrocities, the bloc’s Peace and Security Council said Tuesday in a statement. Rights groups have been urging the bloc to release the report since earlier this year.
