A/HRC/10/59 page 25 violations. The fund would initially rely on matching government and donor contributions, but then seek repayment of disbursed amounts from the State or private individuals cited as responsible. In a pilot stage such a fund could cover one or two provinces and focus in particular on awards based on sexual violence cases. 95. Transitional justice for the massive violations that took place between 1993 and 2003 is another area that should be prioritized. These violations are generally outside the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, which can only be seized of cases that took place after 1 July 2002. The establishment of joint benches, comprising national and international judges and sitting in national courts, might be an appropriate transitional justice tool for the DRC that can also be combined with truth seeking initiatives. 2. Reforming the security sector 96. The police, intelligence services and in particular the FARDC all remain in need of serious and comprehensive reform. In many ways, the operational weakness of FARDC and also the present lack of capacity of the police constitute a human rights concern that should rank very high on the list of priorities. Not only does the FARDC often prove incapable of protecting the civilian population from attacks by armed groups, but it also becomes a perpetrator of violations because it lacks the command and control structures and accountability mechanisms to prevent abuses from within its ranks. The minimum training provided in the brassage process has proven inadequate. There is a need for more comprehensive training programmes. Coordinated training should target officers and systematically include international humanitarian law and human rights in the curriculum. This will not only require substantial resources, but also willingness among the various countries to agree on a curriculum and coordinate their efforts generally on the basis of a shared national security reform strategy. As an accompanying measure donors should also continue and expand programmes to provide units, particularly in conflict areas, with supplies and ensure that they receive their salary. The construction of barracks would allow keeping soldiers away from civilian populations. 97. The Government should remove perpetrators of serious human rights violations that have already been identified as such from its ranks and files without further delay. In addition, the Government and its major partners in security reform should set up a comprehensive and adequately resourced secondary screening mechanism, where each officer is vetted for his past human rights record and subjected to a determination of his ability to command in accordance with principles of international humanitarian law and the values embodied in the Constitution of the DRC. Candidates who fail should be excluded and blacklisted from joining the military, police and intelligence services, with appropriate due process mechanisms and transparent processes. The international community should technically assist this process by providing specialized international staff as well resources. 98. Donors should insist that training and support and accountability for human rights violations are mutually reinforcing elements and make extension of programmes contingent on serious government efforts to clean the ranks of the security forces. Similarly, MONUC should not cooperate with FARDC commanders and units implicated in human rights violations.
