{The Secretary-General condemns the Government of South Sudan\u2019s decision to expel the United Nations Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General\/ Resident Coordinator\/Humanitarian Coordinator of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), Toby Lanzer.}<\/p>\n
Mr. Lanzer has been instrumental in addressing the increasing humanitarian needs of conflict-affected communities in the country, and ensuring that life-saving humanitarian assistance reaches the most vulnerable. This has been necessary because of continuing violence by both parties in the absence of a comprehensive peace agreement.<\/p>\n
The Secretary-General calls on the Government of South Sudan to reverse its decision immediately. He further urges the Government to cooperate fully with all United Nations entities present in South Sudan.<\/p>\n
Mr. Lanzer was coming to the end of his term, and in order to ensure continuity for this critical function, the Secretary-General has already appointed his successor, whose nomination was announced on 29 May.<\/p>\n
