The Security Council is due to receive the Secretary-General’s report on the UN Interim Security Force for Abyei, Sudan (UNISFA). This report should detail areas of particular concern in the area, given the ongoing crimes in Southern Kordofan, including indiscriminate bombing of civilians, including women, blocking of aid, extra-judicial executions, destruction of property, sexual violence, and coerced returns of displaced persons. The Council should: firmly condemn and demand an end to Sudan’s indiscriminate bombing in civilian populated areas and other violations; call for unfettered access for humanitarian agencies to all affected areas; and take concrete action to ensure an independent human rights monitoring presence across Southern Kordofan. In addition, the Security Council should implement the recommendations of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to mandate an independent inquiry into the alleged violations of international human rights and humanitarian law that occurred during the hostilities in Southern Kordofan and hold perpetrators to account.
