Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The United Kingdom\u2019s Global Ambassador for Human Rights, Rita French, has said that despite continued government cooperation with human rights workers in South Sudan, the situation remains fragile and needs more efforts for the implementation of the revitalized peace agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome that there has been some progress on improving human rights in South Sudan; that the Government is continuing to cooperate with the Commission; and that effort is being made to advance the 2018 Revitalized Agreement, though we are still very far from full implementation,\u201d French said during an interactive dialogue with the Commission on South Sudan conducted in Geneva on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, it is clear from the Commission\u2019s report, and from other relevant reports, including by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, that the human rights situation in South Sudan remains incredibly grave,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The British rights diplomat further said \u201cEvidence continues to surface of human rights violations and abuses being committed regularly, and with impunity, by all actors across the country, including, as we have just heard, against women and girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also deeply concerned about the continued restrictions to civic space by the Government. This is unacceptable, and particularly worrying with a view to South Sudan\u2019s national elections,\u201d she added, pointing out that it was \u201cclear that the Commission must continue its important work. The Council should agree to extend its mandate this session.\u201d<\/p>\n
