Unity State, home to nearly a million people, has dramatically expanded its investigative capacity with 19 new investigators and one prosecutor trained by 17³Ô¹ÏÍø and UNPOL, funded by the Norwegian Embassy in Juba. The training, aimed at addressing serious crimes, especially sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), is a significant step in rebuilding South Sudan's justice system devastated by conflict.
