Action
with the commitment made in the joint communiqué signed
in 2004 on fast-track procedures for getting humanitarian
assistance to those in need (copy attached).
Time frame
Needs of the Sudan
A high-level joint committee was set up to monitor
compliance with the agreement on a monthly basis (the
delegation will submit a copy of the joint communiqué).
2.1.2
The work of humanitarian organizations in the Sudan is
subject to State laws and regulations, as in any other
country. Although many organizations operating in the
Sudan breach these laws, the Humanitarian Aid
Commission does not revoke their registration or expel
them. There are many documented cases of this kind and
the delegation will provide detailed information about
them.

Military vehicles and aircraft
Short-term
Issuance of publications and announcements
The armed forces comply with international military
norms on colour markings on vehicles, aircraft and military
equipment. White aircraft are used for transport and
medical evacuations and it is inconceivable that they
should bear the symbols of any United Nations or
non-governmental organization, because this would be a
war crime under article 159 of the Armed Forces Act
of 2007.
