Action The legal framework used by the African Union, the Government of the Sudan and the United Nations to monitor the execution of militia disarmament plans is: Time frame Needs of the Sudan Mid-term - High-quality means of transport - Communications equipment (a) The N’Djamena Agreement of April 2004; - Capacity-building for persons implementing disarmament activities (b) The decision adopted by the Assembly of the African Union at its summit held in Addis Ababa on 8 July 2004; - Funding (c) The Abuja Protocol of 9 November 2004 on the enhancement of the security situation in Darfur; (d) The Darfur Peace Agreement of 5 May 2006. Pursuant to these instruments, a joint committee was established, comprising representatives of the African Union, the Government and the movements which had signed the Peace Agreement was established and the Government submitted its militia disarmament plan to the African Union on 7 June 2006, according to with the deadline specified in the Protocol on Security Arrangements. The delegation of the Sudan will present this plan when it meets the Experts Group and will submit another report on what has been and what will be implemented. The obstacles to implementation of the plan by the African Union are lack of funding, lack of donor commitment, the continuing refusal by some movements to accede to the Peace Agreement and the steady flow of arms into the region from certain neighbouring States. Hence, the Government of the Sudan calls on the international community to implement this plan. A/HRC/5/6 page 38 Para. 1.1.2
