3. Recommendations to armed rebel movements in Darfur
(h)
All armed rebels movements operating in and around Darfur should strictly
observe and respect the requirements of international human rights and humanitarian law,
take all necessary steps to clearly distinguish themselves from the civilian population,
abstain from efforts to recruit fighters in IDP and refugee camps, cease all attacks against
civilian and humanitarian targets, and ensure the free and safe access and movement of
humanitarian personnel. All rebel movements should cooperate in good faith in the
pursuit of peace.
4. Recommendations to the international community
(i)
The Security Council should take urgent further action to ensure the
effective protection of the civilian population of Darfur, including through the deployment
of the proposed UN/AU peacekeeping/protection force and full cooperation with and
support for the work of the International Criminal Court. All United Nations Security
Council and African Union Peace and Security Council resolutions should be fully
implemented, including those relating to travel bans and the freezing of funds, assets, and
economic resources of those who commit violations.
(j)
The General Assembly of the United Nations should request the compilation
of a list of foreign companies that have an adverse impact on the situation of human rights
in Darfur. The list should be published and periodically updated. In addition, the
General Assembly should call upon all United Nations institutions and offices to abstain
from entering into business transactions with any of the identified companies.
(k)
The member States of the United Nations should urgently provide adequate
funding and support for the United Nations support package to AMIS, for the deployment
of the proposed United Nations/African Union peacekeeping/protection force, for adequate
numbers of international human rights monitors, for the continuing humanitarian needs of
Darfur, for the establishment of a credible independent national human rights commission,
and for programmes of compensation and redress for victims in Darfur. Member States
should also be prepared to prosecute individuals suspected of committing war crimes and
crimes against humanity in Darfur through the exercise of universal jurisdiction in
national courts outside of the Sudan.
(l)
The international community should adopt a fully unified approach in
addressing Darfur, supporting the joint efforts of the United Nations and African Union
Envoys, and moving toward an expansion of the DPA process, to include all warring
parties, as well as the representatives of civil society in Darfur. Particular attention must
be paid to engaging women and women’s organizations at all levels of the process.
(m)
The international community should call for, support and facilitate the
convening of a national conference on peace, human rights and a common vision for the
Sudan, as proposed in paragraph (g), above.
(n)
The international community should organize a regional conference, under
the auspices of the United Nations and the African Union, with the participation of all
neighbouring and other concerned States, on the safeguarding and promotion of peace and
human rights in the region.
