Sudan, Abyei & Darfur
Current and Past Recommendations to the UN Security Council (Monthly Action Points)
The Security Council is expected to consider a report and renew the mandate for the UN Hybrid Operation mission in Darfur (UNAMID). The report should continue the good practice established in previous reports of providing gender-disaggregated data, and should include assessment regarding progress and barriers as per the third benchmark on the rule of law and human rights, particularly in terms of addressing sexual and gender-based violence. In its renewal of the UNAMID mandate, the Council should implement its recently adopted SCR 2106 (OPs 8, 12, 21) 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. The Council should reinforce existing language concerning women’s protection concerns, and support the important role of Gender Advisors. The Council should prioritize the call for all parties to the conflict to protect civilians, including women and children, from violations, including sexual and gender-based violence, and continue the request to the Secretary-General to report on progress made in creating and implementing a strategy to protect women and girls from sexual and gender-based violence, as requested in SCR 1881 (OP 14).
