A/HRC/6/7 page 36 − South Darfur: 119 officers and 6,148 men of other ranks, securing 25 displaced persons’ camps; − West Darfur: 114 officers and 5,413 members of other ranks, securing 28 displaced persons’ camps. The security situation in all the camps is calm. In 2007, there were no security incidents in the camps. 1.2 Protection of women against violence An important draft declaration (attached) was prepared affirming the State’s determination to implement the plan on combating violence against women in cooperation with the United Nations Mission in the Sudan (UNMIS) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and referring to the Security Council resolutions. The draft will be published in the media on 18 August. Short-term plans were drawn up for the committees concerned with combating violence in the three states and funding was provided for the plans. On 14 June 2007, a workshop on combating violence against women was held at police headquarters, in cooperation with the United Nations Gender Unit, to reaffirm the commitment to implementing the action plan on combating violence against women in Darfur in accordance with the terms of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) on women, security and children. On 17 July 2007, a seminar was held, in collaboration with the Human Rights Section of UNMIS and the General Union of Sudanese Women, on the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa. An analytical paper was presented comparing the contents of the Protocol with the Constitution and domestic laws of the Sudan. The main objective was to involve civil society organizations in taking the decision on signing and acceding to the Protocol. A recommendation was made in that regard. The Advisory Council for Human Rights is holding a training workshop on human rights and law enforcement (human rights standards in domestic laws; the responsibilities of the police for protecting and promoting human rights; and human rights principles and policing issues), in conjunction with the UNMIS Human Rights Bureau and the Gender Violence Unit. The event is due to be held on 29-30 August 2007, at police headquarters, for 40 women who work in policing. The draft armed forces circular refers to the criminalization of acts of violence against women, including rape, and to the prosecution of the perpetrators of such acts. A draft of the terms of reference of the team assessing the work of the gender violence committees in Darfur was prepared (attached). Joint patrols are still being organized with the African Union at displaced persons’ camps, in order to protect women who go out to fetch firewood.
