 Human Rights Watch (HRW) call for Sudan’s transitional government to accelerate legal and security sector institutional reforms and progress on domestic justice initiatives, in comprehensive justice system reforms to ensure the protection of rights, ensure adequate public participation, and address gender discrimination.

 HRW also call for Sudan to speed up the reforms envisaged in the constitutional charter, including the formation of legislative council and establishment of rights-focused commissions.

 In addition, HRW call for the committee investigating the June 3 massacre to meet international standards and possess the necessary protection to “investigate those responsible higher up the chain of command… as a member of the Sovereign Council may be implicated.”
