The Campaign group Human Rights Watch, HRW, has urged the United Nations peacekeepers to immediately stop support for Congolese Army because of its involvement in atrocities against civilians. The group says the UN should no longer help the Congolese campaign against Rwandan rebels in east. In a new report, the charity charges the UN's continued backing undermines its mandate to protect civilians. The US-based group released its report ahead of UN Security Council deliberations this week on renewing the mandate of UN peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of Congo.<br/>
