Investigators have issued a series of recommendations to the international community, urging action to enhance the arms embargo in Darfur and strengthen mechanisms for accountability in the region. These calls focus on preventing the transfer of support to implicated groups and ensuring cooperation with international justice bodies.
The investigators' appeal includes several specific measures aimed at addressing the situation in Darfur.
Key Recommendations to the International Community
The specific measures outlined in the appeal are designed to address the complex situation in Darfur:
- Arms Embargo Enforcement and Expansion: A primary recommendation is the full enforcement of the existing arms embargo on Darfur. Furthermore, it is suggested that this embargo be extended to cover the entire country.
- Prevention of Support: The investigators called for steps to prevent the transfer of weapons and other forms of support to parties and groups implicated in serious violations.
- Accountability Through Sanctions: Ensuring accountability is highlighted through the application of targeted sanctions.
- Cooperation with ICC: The recommendations emphasize the importance of full cooperation with the International Criminal Court (ICC).
- Consideration of Additional Judicial Mechanism: The investigators also proposed considering the establishment of an additional judicial mechanism, which would operate in conjunction with the ICC.
