 An annual UN report says Russian instructors sent to the Central African Republic have carried out indiscriminate killings, lootings and occupied schools, although Moscow says they are unarmed and not involved in fighting. The UN report, experts submitted to the Security Council recently, said the testament is detailed excessive force, which amounts to violations of international humanitarian law. The UN report says such violations by FACA soldiers and Russian instructors included cases of excessive use of force and discriminate killings, the occupation of schools and looting on a large scale, including of humanitarian organisations. The experts received numerous reports of cases of indiscriminate killings against unarmed civilians by Russian instructors. While on April 18, Moscow acknowledged the deployment in the Central African Republic with 532 instructors and claimed that this number had never exceeded 550.
