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.
