The function was attended by the representative from the Belgian Embassy, Ms. Stefanie Van Melis, representative from Dutch Embassy, Mr. Joost Van Ettro, Head of Security Supervisory, Mechanism (IGAD) and monitoring in South Sudan, Maj Gen Richard Otto, Chief of Legal Services, Brig Gen Godard Busingye, Members of Acholi Parliamentary Group, among others.
