Parties: Government of Sudan; Sudan People’s Liberation Movement
Type: Intra-state
The Parties agreed to the establishment of a Verification Mission to investigate, evaluate and report on alleged incidents involving serious violations against non-combatant civilians and civilian facilities. Provisions are made for the organisation and conduct of investigations by the Mission. The Verification Mission will issue an incident report, which will include both an analysis of the incident and, if a serious violation has taken place, recommended steps for the Parties to take to avoid similar incidents in the future. The Parties agreed that the most effective way to protect non-combatant civilians from attack is to bring the conflict to a close through the organisation of a comprehensive ceasefire and a negotiated peace agreement.
