observers. In Darfur, sub-forums have been
established in North and West Darfur in order to
enhance the participation of local authorities as well
as strengthen the linkages between central and local
authorities.
Response of the Government of Sudan
The Government refers to the establishment of
two Human Rights Forums in Sudan. The Darfur
Human Rights Forum is tasked with overseeing
human rights issues in Darfur. In addition, sub
forums have been established in the three Darfur
states to ensure local participation and regular
meetings to deal with specific human rights
concerns affecting each state.
4.2
Give the United Nations human rights monitors full access to the investigation
records, allow them to interview victims in private and brief them on at least a
monthly basis on progress made in each investigation
Short-term
• UN human rights monitors granted full access to the investigation records, allowed
to interview victims in private, and provided monthly reports on progress made in
each case
UN monitors do not have access to police records
and requests to interview victims in private are very
often declined by the authorities. Further, monitors
are not provided with monthly reports on progress
made on cases investigated by the police.
4.3
Initial steps towards
implementation were undertaken.
Grant the United Nations human rights monitors full and unimpeded access to all
those detained in Darfur or in other parts of the Sudan in relation to the Darfur
conflict, including national security installations and military bases. Make a public
declaration that full and unimpeded access has been granted and send a written order
to all authorities to grant access.
Short-term
• Number of reported incidents of non-access
UNAMID human rights monitors do not have
unfettered access to detention centres. Access to
NISS detention centres remain a challenge while
access to the prisons is granted on an ad hoc basis.
Initial steps towards
implementation were undertaken.
Access to State-run prisons
Human rights monitors have been granted limited
access to the largest prison facility in Darfur (Shalla
Prison, North Darfur) since February 2010 when the
independent expert for situation of human rights in
Sudan visited Darfur.
