Action with the commitment made in the joint communiqué signed in 2004 on fast-track procedures for getting humanitarian assistance to those in need (copy attached). Time frame Needs of the Sudan A high-level joint committee was set up to monitor compliance with the agreement on a monthly basis (the delegation will submit a copy of the joint communiqué). 2.1.2 The work of humanitarian organizations in the Sudan is subject to State laws and regulations, as in any other country. Although many organizations operating in the Sudan breach these laws, the Humanitarian Aid Commission does not revoke their registration or expel them. There are many documented cases of this kind and the delegation will provide detailed information about them. Short-term Issuance of publications 2.1.3 Military vehicles and aircraft Short-term Issuance of publications and announcements The armed forces comply with international military norms on colour markings on vehicles, aircraft and military equipment. White aircraft are used for transport and medical evacuations and it is inconceivable that they should bear the symbols of any United Nations or non-governmental organization, because this would be a war crime under article 159 of the Armed Forces Act of 2007.
