Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The British government and the global human rights body Amnesty International have praised South Sudan\u2019s willingness to improve human rights observance through the engagement of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR).<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018We are pleased that South Sudan accepted all three of the UK\u2019s recommendations, namely to engage with the Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan, uphold the freedoms of assembly and expression, and implement its action plan to prevent grave violations against children,\u2019\u2019 the UK stated in a note addressed to President Salva Kiir yesterday.<\/p>\n

The London government urged the government to ensure implementation of the pending chapters of the 2018 peace deal and consider aligning with the human rights protocol.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018These are important steps towards making concrete progress on human rights with less than one year of the transitional period left.\u201d It is vital for all supported recommendations to be implemented swiftly and to ensure this leads to tangible, positive change for the people of South Sudan. \u201c<\/p>\n

Britain added: \u2018\u2018We would also encourage South Sudan to submit an optional mid-term report on progress in implementing all the recommendations which it has accepted, in accordance with South Sudan\u2019s commitment to engage with the UPR process.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

As for Amnesty International, there is a need to address the political space to allow organisations and individuals to exercise their rights.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018The organization regretted that South Sudan noted four recommendations13 urging the government to take concrete action to protect civic space and urged the government to reverse its decision, especially in light of possible forthcoming elections.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
