Here is link to the incident and excerpt If anything it is the Indian who stood by doing nothing
About a dozen aid workers and UN staff housed at the Terrain hotel compound on 11 July. Peacekeepers just over 1km away failed to come to their aid despite multiple requests from China, Ethiopia, India and Nepal for forces to be dispatched.
The report noted that “each Unmiss contingent turned down the request, indicating their troops were fully committed”. During the attack, “civilians were subjected to and witnessed gross human rights violations, including murder, intimidation, sexual violence and acts amounting to torture perpetrated by armed government soldiers,” said the report.
The investigation, led by retired Dutch general Patrick Cammaert, was unable to verify allegations that peacekeepers did nothing to help women who were raped during the heavy fighting.
But in a later incident on 2 September, a woman was assaulted near the entrance to a UN compound “in plain sight” of the peacekeepers, the report said.
“Despite the woman’s screams, they did not react” and other UN staff intervened, the report added.
A on the violence in Juba found nothing new in the UN’s flawed response. The organisation previously investigated a February incident in which peacekeepers from , India and Rwanda stood by as government soldiers attacked another protection of civilians site in the northern town of Malakal, killing at least 30 people.
