A/HRC/14/41 established within the Sudanese police force to deal with specific matters relating to women and children, including juvenile justice. These units have played a critical role in bringing violence and abuse against women and children into focus; it is imperative that their reach be extended from urban centres to remote areas of Darfur. 63. As part of efforts to address gender-based violence in Darfur, UNAMID conducted six training workshops on gender-based violence during the period under review. Training of trainers’ workshops on gender and human rights were also held for women leaders in camps for internally displaced persons in North Darfur. In South Darfur, the State Committee, in collaboration with UNAMID, is erecting 60 billboards in 11 localities to disseminate key messages on violence against women. G. Children associated with Darfur armed movements 64. In assessment of six armed movements conducted in 2009, the Northern Sudan Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Commission concluded that an estimated 2,000 children still had to be disarmed, demobilized and reintegrated into society. In July and August 2009, the Commission, with the support of UNAMID, disarmed and demobilized 115 children. UNAMID also reported the release of more than 500 children associated with various armed groups, including the JEM Peace Wing, the SLA/Peace Wing and the Popular Forces for Rights and Democracy Movement. The armed groups have expressed their concern that released children may be re-recruited by rival factions, and have appealed for more support for rehabilitation and reintegration programmes of former child soldiers. H. Rule of law and administration of justice 65. The challenges facing justice and its administration have remained unchanged over the past two years. Access to justice is hampered by a weak presence of law enforcement and rule of law institutions, particularly outside the main urban centres of Darfur. The lack of capacity, including acute shortages of police personnel, judges and prosecutors, coupled with the lack of material resources and training within the justice sector institutions, put the formal justice sector beyond the reach of a vast number of people. In several highly populated localities, neither judges nor prosecutors are present or, if present, are often not able to carry out their functions effectively owing to insecurity. In West Darfur, prosecutors and judges are present in only two of the seven localities; the remaining five are without prosecutors and judges, even though they are highly populated. In North Darfur, the authorities have committed to establishing mobile courts to fill the gap created by the absence of the judiciary in several localities, including in areas like Malha, Saraf Omra, Tawila and Kabkabiya. However, to date, nothing concrete has been done, resulting in the transfer of most cases to El Fasher, the regional capital. In most rural areas, justice is administered by rural courts. Rural court judges apply statutory law even though they have no legal training. 66. Most defendants in Darfur in general have no access to lawyers to assist them in their defence. The number of well-trained lawyers available to provide free legal aid to victims of human rights violations is insufficient. Two prominent legal aid providers in Darfur were among the 13 non-governmental organizations closed down by the Government in March 2009. During a visit to a prison facility in North Darfur on 4 February 2010, the independent expert met and interviewed 54 convicted detainees on death row; 13 of them claimed they had not had access to counsel during their trial. UNAMID Human Rights, in conjunction with the Sudan Prison Services, has been organizing training on legal aid for paralegals in all three Darfur States. In South Darfur, 16 GE.10-13648
