Qatar's Speech on Peace in Darfur
Geneva, September 20 (QNA) -The State of Qatar has underscored the importance of stability in brotherly Sudan where Qatar has sponsored for more two years negotiations between the Sudanese governments and the armed movements in Darfur and which were finally culminated in signing the Doha document for peace in Darfur.
This came in the speech of the State of Qatar which Mansour Abdullah As-Slaitin , the First Secretary of Qatar's Permanent Delegation in Geneva delivered before the 18th session of the Human Rights Council , within the framework of the 4th article on interactive dialogue with the independent expert on the Situation of Human Rights in Sudan.
The mandate to monitor the situation in all of Sudan is particularly important with respect to the implementation of the human rights and fundamental freedoms provisions of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. The Independent Expert can also promote respect for fundamental freedoms in accordance with the CPA and Interim National Constitution. As stated by the Independent Expert, it is important to use lessons learned from the April elections to improve the process leading up to the January 2011 referenda. The Independent Expert can play an essential role in highlighting likely obstacles during the referenda process and recommending solutions, paying particular attention to regions where there is a higher likelihood of violence.
The Independent Expert will be helpful in promoting human rights in the post-referenda environment, including, for example, by focusing on the rights of persons from the South residing in the North, helping to ensure that any changes to constitutions or legal frameworks respect human rights, and on highlighting issues pertaining to the rights of persons in key areas along the North-South border and the Three Areas.
The Independent Expert s role in Sudan is unique, as there is no other UN mechanism mandated to report on human rights throughout the country. Without this broad view, it would be nearly impossible to understand the myriad of individual obstacles on the ground. This wide focus helps the UN and international community as a whole better direct its resources in dealing with the urgent human rights problems in Sudan.
In this concern, the Qatari delegation asked to see the independent expert on the role the world community could play to convince the other armed movements to join the peace march and sign the Doha document.
Abdullah As-Slaitin expressed Qatar's support to the recommendation of the independent expert to the international community and the UN to continue providing technical and financial assistance to the government of Sudan and the government of south Sudan to establish national democratic establishments for the protection of human rights.
He also highlighted the efforts exerted on part of the independent expert and called on the council to terminate the mandate of the independent expert and give the government of Sudan more time to start its reconstruction process, the matter which would enhance confidence and cooperation between Sudan and the council and forms an impetus for Sudan to head toward prosperity , welfare and basic freedoms.
