Sudan human rights report [UN HCHR]
8:49 PM ET

Second Periodic Report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on the Human Rights Situation in Sudan, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, January 2006. Excerpt:
Unfortunately, to date efforts to improve the human rights situation on the ground have fallen short of what the CPA [Comprehensive Peace Agreement] and the Interim National Constitution envisaged for the new Sudan. Some efforts, such as law reform, require additional time and will hopefully bring positive change in the near future. Other initiatives have been superficially and inadequately implemented. This was particularly true in Darfur where the CPA, the interim constitution, and other positive political measures were overshadowed by an ineffective judiciary, an ongoing conflict, and widespread human rights abuses. In other parts of Sudan there was also a gap between commitment and implementation.
