SUDAN: Letter to UN Security Council Members from 123 Organizations
Regarding Humanitarian Access
September 21, 2012
Dear Ambassador:
We are deeply alarmed by the ongoing lack of full and unhindered
access for international humanitarian aid agencies to all areas
within the Sudanese states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile, as well as
Darfur. Despite a United Nations Security Council Resolution calling
on the government of Sudan to immediately allow for such access in the
Two areas - and a memorandum of understanding concluded between the
UN, the African Union, and the League of Arab States - the so-called
" Tripartite Partners " - and the Sudanese government providing for
humanitarian aid delivery, one million people continue to suffer from
food insecurity as well as the continued threat of indiscriminate
bombings and attacks on civilians.
It has been over four months since the UN Security Council, acting
under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, called on the government of
Sudan to immediately accept the Tripartite Partner's proposal to
permit humanitarian access throughout the two states. The resolution
followed months of delay on the part of the Sudanese government
over the review of a proposal that the Tripartite Partners submitted
concerning aid delivery. On August 5, 2012, Khartoum finally signed
a memorandum of understanding with the Tripartite Partners that
sets out deadlines related to the planning for and distribution of
international humanitarian assistance. To date, the government has
ignored the deadlines laid out in the memorandum and exhibited no
indication that it intends to allow the full and unhindered delivery
of aid throughout South Kordofan and Blue Nile.
The UN Security Council committed in Resolution 2046 to hold
all parties who fail to comply with the Resolution's terms fully
accountable through the imposition of measures under Article 41 of
the Charter. It is imperative that it do so. Those parties who fail to
meet their obligations should face strong consequences including the
imposition of sanctions. In its upcoming review of the compliance of
the parties with Resolution 2046, the Government of Sudan's failure
to abide by the provisions related to humanitarian assistance and
to comply with the agreement which it signed should be considered a
key factor in determining what actions the Council takes. For many
in South Kordofan and Blue Nile, this is a matter of life and death.
For over a year, the government of Sudan has refused to allow aid into
these two states, resulting in emergency levels of food insecurity (one
level below famine) for 150,000-200,000 people in Southern Kordofan
and crisis levels for hundreds of thousands of others in Southern
Kordofan and Blue Nile. Continued aerial bombardments by the Sudanese
Armed Forces and fighting with rebel groups has displaced or severely
affected an estimated 665,000 people inside Southern Kordofan and Blue
Nile and led 205,000 refugees to flee to South Sudan and Ethiopia,
where they continue to face desperate conditions.
We welcomed the conclusion of a memorandum of understanding between the
government of Sudan and the Tripartite Partners, but are distressed
that the government of Sudan once again continues to delay in
its implementation of a key agreement. Similarly, we appreciate
the actions of the UN Security Council to secure the delivery of
humanitarian aid and to support the initiation of a political dialogue
between the government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation
Movement-N. However, such actions will be of little consequence to
civilians on the ground if the Council does not make efforts to ensure
that the government of Sudan complies with the Council's approach.
If Sudan continues to ignore its obligations to allow humanitarian
access to the people of South Kordofan and Blue Nile, we urge that
the UN Security Council move swiftly to impose consequences for this
failure and to consider alternative means for delivering aid.
