SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies - Law Reform Moves Sudan Closer Towards Full Protection for Human Rights of Woman and Minorities
Following Sudan’s range of criminal law amendments, African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) calls for Sudan to implement reforms to laws and policies that have allowed torture to continue and perpetrators to operate with impunity.
ACJPS also call for Sudan to do more to realise the right to justice and reparations of victims, including: abolishing the system of immunities that ensures that perpetrators of torture remained above the law, and replacing it with a system of remedies for victims.
ACJPS conclude that further reforms should be the result of a consultative process that involves civil society and victims’ groups so that victim’s needs are properly considered.
