“The UN and all its Member States must do everything they can to ascertain what actually happened in connection with Dag Hammarskjöld’s death in Ndola in 1961. We owe it to the families of those who died almost 57 years ago, to the United Nations as an organisation and to all those who work in Dag Hammarskjöld’s spirit today.” Margot Wallström — Minister for Foreign Affairs “Mr Othman has also drawn the conclusion that there is still classified information relevant to the case in intelligence and security service archives, and that the lack of access to all relevant documentation is the greatest obstacle to finally ascertaining what happened.” Government of Sweden — Official Statement (April 23 2018)

Minister for Foreign Affairs Margot Wallström will appoint former Ambassador Mathias Mossberg as Inquiry Chair to ensure that all relevant information in Swedish archives has reached the UN investigation into the death of Dag Hammarskjöld. Ambassador Mossberg will submit his report in autumn 2018. Follow us on Twitter: @Intel_Today
