The Security Council is expected to renew the mandate of the UN Hybrid Operation mission in Darfur (UNAMID). The Council should expand the current provisions in the mandate related to women, peace and security (SCR 2113, OPs 8, 25) by strengthening language concerning women and civil society’s participation in processes to implement peace agreements and in the establishment of security arrangements and transitional justice mechanisms. Further, the Council should call for the full and rapid implementation of the mandate, including through the deployment of qualified WPAs. It is crucial for UNAMID to incorporate a gender lens when assisting the large number internally displaced persons, including in its provision of services to survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. The Council should express concern at the suspension by the Sudanese government of humanitarian activities earlier this year and call for unfettered access to areas of Darfur affected by conflict to AU, UNAMID and humanitarian organizations. Finally, the Council should to provide greater support to the ICC prosecutor by addressing Sudan’s lack of cooperation with the court.
