When considering the report on the situation in Chad and the Central African Republic, the Council is urged to review the barriers faced by the report’s contributors in gathering information, including on the status of women, essential to inform the Council’s decisions on further engagement in Chad and CAR. The Council should remain seized of the situation in these countries, and put in place a mechanism to effectively monitor the Chadian government’s implementation of its protection commitments. To this end, the Council is urged to ensure that the international human rights presence in the country is increased.
