A/HRC/6/19 page 58 More broadly on Disarmament, Demobilization and Re-Integration of children, UNICEF and the Sudan Liberation Movement Army (SLM/A) signed a joint Action Plan on 11 June 2007 regarding the Disarmament, Demobilization and Re-Integration of children associated with the SLM/A, as part of efforts to implement commitments made in the Darfur Peace Agreement. Short term commitments (i.e. within 2 months after signature) in the Plan include: to internally identify the locations where children are associated with the SLM/A and their numbers; to conduct joint missions with SLM/A and the UN to identify and verify these children, and understand their reintegration needs; to raise awareness of SLM/A commanders in the field of child rights and protection. Implementation has been delayed because of ongoing peace talks. Disarmament, demobilization and re-integration commissions have been established in Nyala, Geneina, and El Fasher, and provided with staff. However, the staff have not been trained in child protection or demobilization and reintegration of children. Moreover, the work of these commissions cannot commence in the absence of a clear agreement between the Government and armed groups as to how it should proceed. On the agreement between UNICEF and SLA/MM regarding demobilization and reintegration of child soldiers, according to UNICEF, the ongoing conflict in Darfur had made it difficult to follow-up on the agreement. Nonetheless, SLA/MM sees has indicated its commitment in moving forward with the verification process. The main obstacle at the time of the writing of the present report to the absence of an agreement between SLA/MM and the Government on the structure for supporting child Disarmament, Demobilization and Re-Integration in Darfur. Assessment of Implementation of Recommendation 1.3.3 The Government did not provide information regarding Disarmament, Demobilization and Re-Integration in Darfur, except for East Jebel Mara. Additional information received suggests that the Northern Disarmament, Demobilization and Re-Integration Commission has started its work in cooperation with UNICEF. 1.4 Protection against summary executions, arbitrary detention, disappearances, torture Recommendation 1.4.1 Short-term Issue and enforce clear instructions to the law enforcement agencies, the armed forces and any militias under the Government’s control that summary executions, arbitrary detention, enforced or involuntary disappearances and torture are illegal and will not be tolerated; that they can amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, that suspects will be investigated and brought to justice and any immunities would be waived.
