UN: Human Rights Council resolution a lukewarm respone to deepening crisis in Darfur
Amnesty International noted that the Human Rights Council's decision to send a group of 'highly qualified persons' on a fact finding mission to Sudan offers some hope that the Sudanese Government will be held to account for its failure to protect the people of Darfur. However, Amnesty International also condemned the resolution's timidity in failing to recognise the complicity of the Sudanese Government in the serious and systematic human rights violations taking place in Darfur.
"The assessment mission established by the Human Rights Council must put an end to the shameless lies and denial of responsibility of the Government of Sudan for the situation in Darfur. We expect this mission to enable the Human Rights Council to hold the Sudanese Government to account for its abject failure to protect Darfur's 'African' population", said AI.
