A/HRC/15/57 observers. In Darfur, sub-forums have been established in North and West Darfur in order to enhance the participation of local authorities as well as strengthen the linkages between central and local authorities. Response of the Government of Sudan The Government refers to the establishment of two Human Rights Forums in Sudan. The Darfur Human Rights Forum is tasked with overseeing human rights issues in Darfur. In addition, sub forums have been established in the three Darfur states to ensure local participation and regular meetings to deal with specific human rights concerns affecting each state. 4.2 Give the United Nations human rights monitors full access to the investigation records, allow them to interview victims in private and brief them on at least a monthly basis on progress made in each investigation Short-term • UN human rights monitors granted full access to the investigation records, allowed to interview victims in private, and provided monthly reports on progress made in each case UN monitors do not have access to police records and requests to interview victims in private are very often declined by the authorities. Further, monitors are not provided with monthly reports on progress made on cases investigated by the police. 4.3 Initial steps towards implementation were undertaken. Grant the United Nations human rights monitors full and unimpeded access to all those detained in Darfur or in other parts of the Sudan in relation to the Darfur conflict, including national security installations and military bases. Make a public declaration that full and unimpeded access has been granted and send a written order to all authorities to grant access. Short-term • Number of reported incidents of non-access UNAMID human rights monitors do not have unfettered access to detention centres. Access to NISS detention centres remain a challenge while access to the prisons is granted on an ad hoc basis. Initial steps towards implementation were undertaken. Access to State-run prisons Human rights monitors have been granted limited access to the largest prison facility in Darfur (Shalla Prison, North Darfur) since February 2010 when the independent expert for situation of human rights in Sudan visited Darfur. 41
