Khartoum, (IINA) - Aristide Nononsi, the UN independent expert on the situation of human rights in Sudan, is expected to return to Sudan within a few months to assess the situation of human rights in the country, particularly in Darfur and South Kordofan, Sudan Tribune reported.
Last October, the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) extended the mandate of the independent expert for another year under its agenda item 10 on technical assistance and capacity building.
Awad Al-Nour, Sudan’s minister of justice and head of the Advisory Council on Human Rights (ACHR), expressed readiness to receive Nononsi, pointing to the importance of coordinating the visit effectively in order to ensure its success.
He stressed that Sudan would carry out its commitments towards human rights, calling upon the international community to meet its obligations by offering the technical support to the Sudanese government, according to the agenda item 10. “Sudan has met much of its national obligations towards promoting human rights [situation]”, he said.
Al-Nour’s statements came a day after several protesters were killed allegedly by the security services in the capital of West Darfur, Al-Ginaina.
Meanwhile, the special rapporteur for the ACHR Yasir Ahmed said that the independent expert would visit Darfur and South Kordofan, noting he would also attend several workshops and forums pertaining to peace, rights of women, children, and people with disabilities.
He added that Nononsi would be briefed on the outcome of the national dialogue conference.
