A/HRC/24/31 the Independent Expert observed the difficult conditions faced by IDPs in Darfur, especially women and children. In Otash camp in South Darfur, the IDPs had resorted to using local materials to construct makeshift shelters in the camp, while others complained of insufficient food and water. The Independent Expert raised concern about the situation with the Governor of South Darfur and other state officials, urging them to take action to resolve the problems. The Independent Expert urges the Government of the Sudan and relevant United Nations agencies to assist in addressing the humanitarian needs in the IDP camps as a matter of urgency. 42. The situation in Darfur continues to be a challenge for the Government. The Government’s duty to protect civilians and hold alleged offenders accountable has been demonstrably weak – a situation that has encouraged impunity in some places. The apparent lack of effective law enforcement is evident in areas such as Kutum locality in North Darfur, where security has not been restored since the 2012 attacks on Kassab and Fataborno IDP camps and Kutum town. Also in Tawilla, North Darfur, only the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Central Reserve Police have been exercising authority in the area since December 2012. All other law enforcement components, including the regular police, have been relocated to El Fasher, the state capital. Also, due to insecurity, judicial services in Kutum and Gereida in South Darfur have not been functional, thus limiting access to justice for most civilians in these localities. 43. In order to fight impunity and also fulfil the Sudan’s obligations under the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD), in January 2012, the Government appointed a new Special Prosecutor for Darfur crimes (the fifth Special Prosecutor to be appointed since 2003) to investigate and bring to justice those responsible for serious crimes and human rights violations related to the Darfur conflict. During his mission to the Sudan in February 2013, the Independent Expert raised concerns about the slow pace of prosecution of the Darfur conflict-related crimes. Furthermore, he noted that Darfur conflict-related cases were being tried in the ordinary courts instead of the Special Court created specifically for these crimes. The Special Prosecutor has, however, confirmed that prosecution of crimes in the Special Court has now commenced. The Independent Expert also noted that the Justice, Truth and Reconciliation Commission established under the DDPD has not been able to function owing to lack of funding. In a meeting with the Independent Expert in February 2013, the Darfur Regional Authority (DRA) indicated that the Government had approved the release of funds to support the operation of the Commission. 44. The Independent Expert emphasizes the importance of the full implementation of the DDPD and calls on the Government of the Sudan and the international community to fulfil their respective commitments under the agreement. Realizing peace and security in Darfur is necessary for ensuring improvement of the human rights situation in the region. The DDPD provides the only viable roadmap for peace in Darfur and must be supported by all stakeholders. The full implementation of the DDPD is therefore essential and all stakeholders must renew their commitment in that regard. 45. UNAMID has provided technical assistance to the Government in order to build its capacity to recognize, analyse and proactively address human rights issues in Darfur. Since August 2012, it has conducted up to 40 human rights training sessions and workshops for more than 1,200 people, including state legislators, local government authorities, judges, prosecutors, private-sector lawyers, teachers, native administrators and IDPs in Darfur. South Kordofan 46. The human rights situation in South Kordofan state remains precarious, with civilians bearing the brunt of sporadic cycles of fighting between Government and rebel forces. For security reasons, the Independent Expert could not visit the state as originally planned. On 14 June 2013, when he arrived in the Sudan for his second visit to the country, 11
