defendant continues to perform his duties as a police
officer in spite of a court warrant issued for his
arrest.
1.2.3 Work in consultation with community members, including females, to set up or
resume firewood patrols for IDP camps and villages.
Short-term
• Number of IDP camps benefiting from regular and effective firewood patrols
• Reduction in number of reported attacks on women in areas patrolled
There were no firewood patrols conducted by the
Government during the reporting period. The only
firewood patrols carried out were done by UNAMID
Protection Force.
No implementation at all, which
has direct bearing on concretely
improving the human rights
situation on the ground.
There continues to exist a great deal of mistrust
between IDPs and Sudanese security forces. In some
camps including Otash and Alsalaam, in South
Darfur, the police are stationed in the camp, and make
regular patrols within the camps, but lack the capacity
to investigate cases in and outside the camps. In other
camps like Kalma in South Darfur and Hamidiya and
Hassa Hissa in Zalingei, West Darfur, GoS forces are
not allowed inside the camps.
1.2.4 Make workplans for the State Committees to Combat Violence against Women with
clear objectives, targets and time frames available to the public.
Short-term
• State committee workplans publicly available
Workplans of the North and South Darfur State
Committees to Combat Violence Against Women
have been published and expected to be widely
disseminated.
Significant activities were
undertaken and implementation is
in process.
Response of the Government of Sudan
The Government mentions a workshop held in
January 2009 on the work plan of the State
Committees for Combating Violence Against
Women which addressed issues like protection,,
health and psychotherapy for victims.
1.2.5 Issue and immediately enforce clear instructions to all authorities, including the
armed forces, and any militia under the Government’s control that rape and other forms of
sexual violence are prohibited; that they may amount to war crimes and crimes against
humanity; that suspects, including bearers of command responsibility, will be investigated
and brought to justice and that any immunities would be waived. Publish and widely
disseminate these instructions.
