A/HRC/6/19 page 81 Recommendation 2.1.3 Short-term Do not use any vehicle or aircraft markings that might blur the line between humanitarian operations and Government military operations. Indicator: No such incidents reported. Response of the Government of the Sudan on Recommendation 2.1.3 The Government rejected the allegations that it had blurred the line between humanitarian operations and Government military operations. Information Received from Other Sources on Recommendation 2.1.3 The Government appear to have made no efforts to distinguish military from humanitarian aircraft. Several reports since 2005 indicate that the Government used white aircrafts for military operations, with multiple purposes (reconnaissance, bombardments and logistical). Reports from AMIS stated that a Government MI-8 has been seen marked with an AMIS logo. More recently, there has been no reports of deceptive markings by the Government. There have also been reports of the use of white vehicles by the Government. White vehicles stolen from international NGOs and the UN have been used frequently by militia groups. The use of such vehicles for military purposes reached a peak in the second half of 2006. The Government reported on an ambush on a Sudan Armed Forces convoy on 7 October 2007, where militia pretended to have a vehicle breakdown in order to trick the patrol into the ambush site. According to Government sources, the militia probably used a stolen white international NGO vehicle as bait. Assessment of Implementation of Recommendation 2.1.3 According to the information received from UN agencies, bodies and programmes operational in Darfur and AMIS, there have been no reported instances since 20 June 2007 of markings that blur the distinction between military and humanitarian operations. Recommendation 2.1.4 Short-term Do not subject humanitarian workers to arbitrary detentions, physical abuse, sexual assaults, and harassment. Issue clear written instructions to instruct authorities at all levels, including military, and any militias under the Government’s control in this regard. Publish and widely disseminate these instructions. Indicator: Instructions issued and widely disseminated. Number of reported incidents of harassment or attacks on humanitarian workers.
