A/HRC/40/69
(a)
Establish expeditiously the commission for truth, reconciliation and
healing, with effective and transparent consultation of South Sudanese stakeholders;
(b)
Adopt a broad approach to reparations to include provisions of collective
and symbolic forms of reparation, beyond the financial payments envisaged under the
mandate of the compensation and reparation authority;
(c)
Ensure that the outcomes of all prior, genuine consultations on how to
address the past in South Sudan and shape its future, including the recommendations
and outcomes of the national dialogue, are given due consideration in the process of
establishing the transitional justice mechanisms of chapter V of the Revitalized
Agreement and drafting a permanent constitution.
C.
Recommendations to other actors
134.
The Commission recommends that UNMISS:
(a) Increase, in conjunction with humanitarian actors, protection for women,
girls and boys during their movements outside camps to collect water and firewood,
ensuring the training of men and boys to assist with the protection of women and
children and promoting the establishment of mixed-sex and -age watch groups and
movement in bigger groups;
(b)
Expand the current database of incidents of sexual exploitation and
abuse involving United Nations peacekeepers to include incidents involving the
personnel of implementing partners.
135. The Commission recommends that humanitarian actors strengthen referral
systems to support women, girls, boys and men who have been affected by genderbased violence or who require psychosocial support due to the crisis, so that they are
able to access the appropriate service providers for their differing needs and within
the appropriate time frame (within 72 hours for survivors of sexual violence). Service
provision should likewise be strengthened and training on the clinical management of
rape should be provided, as well as post-exposure prophylaxis kits and “mama kits”
for safe delivery.
136. The Commission recommends that civil society raise awareness among families
of the value of the girl child in order to change stereotypes and attitudes under which
girls are considered as family property, resulting in early arranged marriage as a
means to escape poverty. Awareness-raising on the rights of the child may be
encouraged to include protection of the boy child.
137. The Commission recommends that the parties to the Revitalized Agreement,
during the pre-transitional period and beyond, fully support the necessary full
implementation of all transitional justice processes.
138. The Commission recommends that the African Union engage and support the
Government of South Sudan, on the basis of the communiqué of the 547th meeting of
the Peace and Security Council, to complete expeditiously the necessary steps to
establish the hybrid court and the other transitional justice mechanisms and processes.
