The Secretary-General has today condemned, in the strongest terms, the killing of Thierno Aliou Diaoune, National Coordinator for the UN Peacebuilding Fund, in Conakry, Guinea, on 6 February 2015.
"Mr. Diaoune was a trusted United Nations partner and a tireless advocate for the construction of peace, democracy and human rights in Guinea," said a statement issued today by Mr. Ban's spokesperson.
The statement said the Secretary-General welcomed the Guinean Government's announcement of a full investigation into Mr. Diaoune's death and offered his sincere condolences to Mr. Diaoune's family.
