A/HRC/6/7 page 9 III. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 19. The group of experts, taking into account the challenges faced by the Government of the Sudan, welcomes its fresh commitment to work with the Council and the United Nations to implement pre-existing recommendations in the field of human rights. It appreciates the high degree of cooperation, flexibility and openness of its interlocutors during the period under review. 20. The group of experts welcomes the efforts made by the Government of the Sudan towards implementation of its short-term recommendations. It concludes that while certain recommendations have been partially implemented, it is not in a position to report that a clear impact on the ground has been identified. Regarding other recommendations, first steps towards implementation have been taken, whereas still other recommendations remain, at least for the present time, without implementation. The group of experts regrets that certain short term recommendations were not addressed by the Government at all or, in other cases, information provided was unrelated to them. The group of experts reiterates that the ultimate measure of the Government’s implementation of the recommendations compiled by the group has to be concrete improvements in the human rights situation on the ground in Darfur. 21. The group of experts is aware of the short period of time that was available to the Government within the framework of this mandate for implementing the recommendations compiled by the group and its limited financial and human resources. In addition, the dynamics of the conflict with an increasing number of armed actors may render the implementation of certain recommendations difficult. It reiterates, however, that these factors cannot be invoked as obstacles for effectively addressing human rights violations in Darfur. 22. The group of experts reiterates its concern about reports of ongoing serious violations of international humanitarian law and human rights by the various parties to the conflict. It emphasizes the obligation of all parties to the conflict to abide by their commitments under international law and to make all efforts to comply with all human rights recommendations that have already been made by various United Nations bodies, as well as to work within the framework of the Abuja peace agreement and other appropriate forums, to comprehensively address the perilous human rights situation in Darfur. 23. The group of experts emphasizes the essential work being carried out by UNMIS human rights monitors and other actors in the field and reiterates that the Government must provide human rights monitors with full and unhindered access to all regions of Darfur, including all places where persons are deprived of their liberty, as well as to investigation records, and that monitors must be allowed to interview victims and persons deprived of their liberty in private.
