A/HRC/9/13 page 20 12 May Central Reserve Police attack on Tawilla and the fighting between rebel groups near Kafod on 21 May; the fighting in Abyei in May between the Sudan Armed Forces and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA); and clashes between villagers and the SPLA in Torit, Eastern Equatoria on 4 June all entailed reports of serious violations being committed by all the parties to the conflict. It is essential that impartial, transparent and comprehensive inquiries be held to investigate allegations, identify perpetrators and hold them accountable. The Special Rapporteur reiterates her request that the Government of National Unity and the Government of Southern Sudan make the reports of investigative committees public in order to combat impunity and further the promotion of the rule of law. 77. Concerns are mounting about the violations of civil and political rights in different parts of the country in the lead-up to the general elections. In the period under review there have been widespread allegations of arbitrary arrests and detention, torture, incommunicado detention and serious violations of the right to fair trial. 78. One of the Special Rapporteur’s principal concerns remains impunity. Allegations of violations of human rights are not duly investigated, nor are the findings made public. Perpetrators of serious crimes, such as the killing of civilians, have not been brought to justice and reparations have not been provided to victims. The Special Rapporteur has raised several cases on numerous occasions with the Government of the Sudan, however to date there has been no progress. 79. The Special Rapporteur’s reports and recommendations contain her assessment of the gaps and the needs of the Sudan in order to further the protection of human rights in the country. During her visits to Sudan she was pleased to note that the United Nations bodies and agencies, UNAMID, UNMIS and others operational in Sudan with support from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, continue to provide technical assistance to the Government of Sudan with a view to assisting it to implement its obligations under international law. Donors have also continued to provide funds for technical assistance for the improvement of the human rights situation in the Sudan. B. Recommendations 80. The Special Rapporteur reiterates all previous unimplemented human rights recommendations contained in her reports, those of the High Commissioner and of the group of experts mandated by the Human Rights Council in resolution 4/8. In addition, she recommends that: (a) The Government of National Unity: (i) 13 Continue and intensify efforts to implement the recommendations compiled by the group of experts, in accordance with the specified time frames and indicators;13 A/HRC/5/6, annex I.
