A/HRC/45/CRP.4 women representation in all the Chapter V mechanisms (5.1.1). Participants from civil society mentioned the alarming scale of the use of sexual violence as weapon of war in the South Sudan conflict, and how every effort should be made to address the existing State and societal denial, even tolerance, of its occurrence and stigmatisation of affected victims/survivors and their families – only then would the relevant stakeholders be empowered to ensure effective and comprehensive reporting and documentation of cases, patterns, and consequences of conflict-related sexual violence in South Sudan. Complementary 32. Participants also observed that it will be challenging to achieve the objectives of Chapter V without the effective realisation of other crucial aspects of the R-ARCSS. Security, judicial, and other institutional and constitutional reforms, humanitarian assistance, and rehabilitation of conflict-affected communities, and barring of corrupt officials from holding public office as anticipated in the R-ARCSS, are all essential to create a conducive environment for transitional justice. Commission Chair Yasmin Sooka also noted that transitional justice measures should include an assessment of the manner in which various state security, resource management, and financial institutions have been misused to perpetuate the conflict, and contribute to identification of relevant accountability and reform measures so as to guarantee non-recurrence. Prioritisation and sequencing 33. During group discussions, all participants acknowledged that, in a post-conflict context such as South Sudan, there will inevitably be competing demands for rebuilding, reparation, and accountability. Thus, duty bearers and stakeholders should continuously deliberate on prioritisation and sequencing between and within various transitional justice measures, to ensure their timely establishment and effective implementation within the evolving social, political, and economic context in South Sudan. 34. Stakeholders from the Government of South Sudan agreed that there should be a greater push for implementation of measures where consensus has been achieved, while continuing negotiations on contentious issues. Hon. Clement Kuc Achol, a member of the Transitional National Assembly – Legislation and Justice committee, submitted that it is possible to fast track the initiation of renewed and inclusive national consultations and development of legislation for creation of the CTRH; and provision of urgent and interim reparation measures including health care and land restitution. Other considerations include timing of the establishment of the Compensation and Reparation Fund and Authority and their connection to the CTRH and HCSS. 35. As a note, Commissioner Barney Afako referred participants to the report by late Kofi Annan, on Transitional Justice in Peacebuilding titled “UN, Report of the Secretary-General on the Rule of Law and Transitional Justice in Conflict and Post-Conflict Societies” (UN Doc. S/2004/616). The report points out challenges if a form of weak institutions, unfavourable political environment, and weak security. Coordination among state and non-state actors 36. Civil society participants from the Transitional Justice Working Group identified the need for enhanced information sharing and coordination among State and non-State actors involved in the promotion of transitional justice. Such coordination would enable actors to have a common understanding of the goals and mandate of various transitional justice mechanisms, avoid duplication and optimally utilize available resources to ensure that all conflict-affected communities and transitional justice issues are effectively covered. Civil society organisations were encouraged to consider collaborative approaches for data collection and documentation on patterns of violations, which could support the work of various transitional justice mechanisms. This calls for an urgent review of existing documentation and databases, and action to address any identified gaps. Regional and international civil society organisations and friendly States can also play an active role, including through advocacy, to elicit political action toward implementation of transitional justice in South Sudan.
