A panel formed by the United Nations to look into the human rights situation in Darfur praised on Tuesday the cooperation and efforts of the Sudanese government to improve the situation in the war-torn western Sudanese region.
"It appreciates the high degree of cooperation, flexibility and openness of its interlocutors during the period under review," said a report prepared by the group of experts mandated by the UN Human Rights Council (HRC).
"The group of experts, taking into account the challenges faced by the government of Sudan, welcomes its fresh commitment to working with the council and the United Nations to implement pre- existing recommendations in the field of human rights," the report noted.
"The group of experts welcomes the efforts made by the government of Sudan towards implementation of its short-term recommendations," the report added.
It, however, urged the Sudanese government to continue and intensify its efforts to implement the recommendations compiled by the group of experts "without delay."
The report also called on all parties involved in the Darfur conflict "to put an end to all acts of violence against civilians as well as humanitarian workers."
The group, comprising seven experts, was formed according to a resolution adopted by the HRC on March 30 this year.
The HRC asked the group to work with the parties concerned "to ensure the effective follow-up and to foster the implementation of resolutions and recommendations on Darfur, as adopted by the HRC, the Commission on Human Rights and other United Nations human rights institutions."
