A/HRC/15/57 Acts of sexual violence, particularly against internally displaced women and girls continue to occur in Darfur. In 2009, UNAMID recorded 101 reported cases of sexual violence (49 in North Darfur, 25 in South Darfur and 27 in West Darfur). The majority of the victims were internally displaced girls and women. Of the several cases of SGBV documented by UNAMID in 2009, only 7 cases have successfully been prosecuted. UNAMID recorded 9 incidents where police acted upon a SGBV report and 17 cases where police failed to act even though they were presented with all the facts. Below are few examples: Examples of police action In Kabkabiya, North Darfur, police arrested two military personnel accused of raping two 16-yearold girls on 15 May 2009. The police reported that the two have been placed in military detention, pending the arrival of a judge to start judicial proceedings.
