SHRO urges Sudan governments to ensure CPA national participation

October 17, 2007 — The Sudan Human Rights Organization calls on the major partners of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), the Government of Sudan and the Government of South Sudan, to honor all provisions of the agreement, indiscriminately.

The Organization urges the two partners to work in good faith to ensure full participation of all political parties and civil society groups whose role to implement the country’s transition to the permanent peace, democracy, and development is clearly indicated by the agreement.

SHRO-Cairo calls on the CPA major partners to enter immediately in collective, non-unilateral non-bilateral, formal talks with all political parties and civil society groups, as well as the military forces and the traditional constituencies of Darfur, with a view to convene an All-Sudanese National Constitutional Conference that should straighten out the CPA principled application under the auspices of the United Nations, the African Union, and the CPA supportive governments, especially the United States, European Union, and the Arab League.
