SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Washington Post – Sudan is still waiting for justice. The world can’t look away
Mohamed Osman, a Sudanese human rights lawyer based in Germany, questions whether the June 3 massacre investigation committee has the expertise, legal powers and independence to function in line with basic international standards.
Therefore, Osman calls for the international community – especially donor governments – to adopt human rights benchmarks in their dealings with Sudan’s transitional government.
In addition, Osman also calls for the transitional government to revise the investigation committee’s mandate, ensure its independence, listen to the families’ concerns and seek international and regional expertise.
