Action Monitoring of implementation of recommendations Time frame 4.1 Human rights questions are handled through coordination between the United Nations, the international community, as represented by UNMIS, donor States and the Government of the Sudan, as represented by the Advisory Council for Human Rights. The Council’s membership includes all relevant governmental bodies and a number of NGOs. At a regular meeting of the mechanism, a subcommittee was set up for the joint implementation mechanism. This committee looks into all human rights issues, including concerns about violations. The Government of the Sudan intends to strengthen this mechanism. Ongoing 4.2 There is no law restricting the right of human rights monitors to interview victims. Monitors are not allowed to see investigation records lest this would affect the course of an investigation or of justice. Trial proceedings are conducted in open court and anyone can attend, unless a court decides, for stated reasons, that they should be held in camera. Short-term 4.3 All previous requests for interviews with detainees held in connection with the situation in Darfur were freely granted on the basis of objective criteria, such as prior notification from the United Nations Office in order to schedule a time for the interview and identify the visitor or visitors. The Government of the Sudan will continue this policy. Short-term Needs of the Sudan Boost the role of human rights observers in working effectively with the Government of the Sudan to exchange and discuss reports impartially and transparently.
