Action Time frame Needs of the Sudan West Darfur - There are 28 camps in the state and a female police force of 40 persons. Twenty-three policewomen work at the Police Hospital and the other 27 do field work. South Darfur - The number of camps in the state is 25. A total of 12 policewomen and 13 officers work there. - The police force in the state has 170 women and each camp has 6 policewomen to conduct investigations. - The Ministry of the Interior has issued orders to increase the number of female police investigators in Darfur. 1.2.8 With regard to the legal framework for crimes of violence against women, the Government of the Sudan should like to explain that these crimes are offences under the 1991 Criminal Code. There is no connection between the article that deals with rape and the one that deals with extramarital intercourse and sodomy. A rape charge contains an element of doubt which precludes the penalty prescribed for the imposition of extramarital intercourse. The proper and effective application of the law precludes any link between these two articles. The Government of the Sudan will use the means at its disposal to explain these articles to the public. Mid-term The Government of the Sudan should like the international community’s support with the following: - Training for legal and judicial officers and for law enforcement officers from the police and elsewhere on international and regional standards of criminal justice and the correct application of the Criminal Code and other relevant laws - Support for an expert workshop A/HRC/5/6 page 50 Para.
