A/HRC/10/30 page 3 The Special Adviser continues to follow up on his February 2008 conclusions and recommendations regarding the situation in Kenya, in particular the recommendations regarding long-term prevention. Finally, the Secretary-General describes a series of efforts by the Special Adviser to respond to the situation in Darfur, including his strong insistence that any decision by the International Criminal Court regarding the request for indictment of President Omar al-Bashir should under no circumstances lead to reprisals that would expose civilians in Darfur or in any other part of the country to even greater levels of violence, including the risk of genocide. The Secretary-General describes other activities of the Special Adviser, in particular, his efforts to prepare an inventory of the existing capacity of the Secretariat and specialized agencies assigned to monitoring, analysis and early warning, including several hundred staff that focus on almost all the criteria relevant to genocide prevention. On the basis of the inventory, the Special Adviser’s office has designed an information management system to ensure that his staff are able to draw upon rapidly the vast information resources available within the United Nations for the office’s own specialized monitoring. The Secretary-General also describes the Special Adviser’s participation in numerous international and regional conferences and workshops on issues such as the prevention of genocide in Africa, the comprehensiveness of existing law regarding the prevention of genocide, the links between the responsibility to protect and the prevention of genocide, and indicators for predicting genocide. It ends with a brief update on the staffing capacity of the Special Adviser’s office. The Secretary-General concludes by recalling that the imperative to prevent genocide is incumbent primarily upon Member States, and then upon the entire United Nations system. It is only through the collaborative effort of Member States and the United Nations operational departments as a whole that the international community can be successful, and he urges continued and strengthened collaboration to that end.
