Robinson hoping to help stop Congo violence 'for good'

United Nations envoy Mary Robinson believes there is a chance to solve the underlying causes of decades of violence in Congo and “stop it for good”.

The former Irish president told the UN Security Council that her hope stems from the peace accord signed by 11 African countries in late February to stabilise the troubled African nation because it requires national, regional and international action and includes oversight to ensure that benchmarks are set and met.
