 ???Sudan: Who will answer for the crimes

?Sudan: Who will answer for the crimes
To ensure an end to impunity for the worst crimes committed in
conflicts in the Sudan, the UN Security Council must refer the
situation in the country, including Darfur, to the Prosecutor of
the International Criminal Court. In the same way, it should
refer to the Prosecutor situations anywhere in the world where
crimes under international law occur. The UN Security Council
has repeatedly emphasized concern at the failure of Sudan to end
impunity and must now act to remain coherent.
The International Criminal Court would, however, only try a
handful of those responsible for war crimes and crimes against
humanity. The UN Security Council and the international
community must also support a comprehensive reform of the
Sudanese justice system so as to enable it to bring to justice
perpetrators of serious crimes under international human rights
and humanitarian law.
The right of victims and their families to truth and justice is
an essential element of the process of reconciliation and peace
in Sudan. For peace between Northern and Southern Sudan to last
and to end human rights violations against civilians currently
under siege in Darfur, those responsible for the worst crimes
under international law must be brought to justice, Amnesty
International stated today in a new report "Sudan: Who will
answer for the crimes?" Full report online at
http://amnesty-news.c.topica.com/maac5fAabdpDkbb0g6Xb/
The people in Darfur continue to risk their lives in attempts to
expose and seek redress for the egregious human rights abuses
visited on them. In the Nuba Mountains the Sudanese people hope
that peace will enable them to find the truth behind the
disappearances of their relatives and friends. Communities
affected by enslavement practices in Bahr-el-Ghazal have
affirmed their will to see the perpetrators of these abuses
prosecuted and reparations awarded to the survivors. Lawyers in
the North await the removal of emergency legislation which
blocks hundreds of complaints for acts of torture, so as to help
their clients get the justice they deserve. In southern Sudan,
many civilians are fearful of future actions by militia, who
have behaved as if they were unaccountable.
The Sudanese government and the Sudan People’s Liberation
Movement/Army (SPLM/A), parties to the Comprehensive Peace
Agreement (CPA), must uphold their responsibility for a lasting
peace, built on truth and justice, for the Sudanese people. They
must engage in a process to establish truth and reconciliation
in the country.
Background
A Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), to end the 21 year old
civil war in Sudan between the central government and the main
armed group (SPLM/A) in the South, was signed on 9 January 2005.
The protocols and agreements which form the CPA are silent on
the gross abuses committed during the conflict, many of which
constitute crimes under international law.
In Darfur, the west of the country, the conflict is continuing
today with civilians being targeted and displaced. An
international Commission of Inquiry has been mandated by the UN
Security Council "to investigate reports of violations of
international humanitarian law and human rights law by all
parties, to determine whether or not acts of genocide have
occurred, and to identify the perpetrators of such violations
with a view to ensure that those responsible are held
accountable". The Commission is due to report to the UN Security
Council by 25 January 2005.
It's time to catch the criminals, take action!

It is obvious from the pragraph above that the NIF and its newest partner the SPLA/M want us the Sudanese people to pay for their atrocities. Or atleast bear their garbage while they share the loot.

Dear Mohamed Suleiman, Fadlabi, Walid Safwat, Kostawi, Suliman Ibrahim and Hala Guta
.Salam, and thanks for lifting the post up
,Dear Walid
I beleive that there is a role for all of those among us with knowledge in International and Humanitarian Law, in compiling and preparing folders with the crimes against humanity committed in the context of these wars, so that we don't bear the brunt of these people's mistakes
I say it boldly, and I repeat it: there are documented reports of human rights violations by both the current government and the SPLA.
No one should be immune
And a big NO to impunity
Thanks a lot
..
,Dear Suliman Ibrahim
I found this picture on the news, and captured it sometime ago, but I meant to preserve the name of the photographer that appears faintly under the image, for intellectual rights purposes
I am not sure which site put it up first. I think it is MSNBC, where they had put
"FACE OF CRISIS"
under the image
I can sure do a search under the photographer's name and get back to you
And yes, this girl's eyes say a lot
a lot
!Look at all the questions in her eyes
Thanks
Iman

سلام ايمان وكل سنه وانتى طيبه
موضوع المساءله والمحاسبه اسقط (ربما سهوأ  ) من اجندة الصفقات، لكن التعويضات لم تسقط
مثل سودانى بيقول: اكلو اخوان واتحاسبوا تجار
ترجمه المفاوضون ل:
اكلو اخوان واتحاسبوا اخوان
لن استعجب اذا بدأ الناس ياخدوا حقهم بيدهم، بل ادعو لذلك

My dearest Iman
Happy Eid
In so many instances, I reach a solid conclusion that we as a nation
will never find a swift resolution to our growing crisis and devastated people
Oh, gloomy picture, yes it is
