UN resolutions provide an opportunity to build human rights

Azizy Deraij

You’re absolutely right.

International human rights organizations have been working towards this end for sometime. It’s sad to see some Sudanese intellectuals trying to empty the resolution from its content and relevance. The essence of the resolution is: NO TO IMPUNITY.

No peace, no stability and no reconciliation can take place without bringing perpetrators of mass human rights violations to justice. This should be the stand of Sudanese intellectuals.

Frankly speaking, dear Dreaij, sometimes I wonder about the principled position of Sudanese intellectuals in relation to human rights, freedoms and liberties. They’re in a real dilemma in this area, I guess.

I hope to receive the Arabic translation of Amnesty’s position tomorrow and I’ll post it in the Arabic Forum for information and, maybe, discussion.

Best wishes.
