Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s civil society watchdog Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO) has urged the government to expedite the passage of crucial transitional justice legislations, emphasizing its importance in achieving lasting peace and stability.<\/p>\n

In a statement extended to Sudans Post on Monday morning, CEPO\u2019s Executive Director Edmund Yakani expressed concern over the government\u2019s lack of urgency in establishing the Commission for Truth, Reconciliation, and National Healing (CTRH) and the Compensation and Reparations Authority (CRA).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leadership\u2019s low political appetite and commitment to accelerating the transitional justice process is alarming,\u201d Yakani stated. \u201cTransitional justice is an indispensable key to realizing political and economic stability in a post-conflict situation like South Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yakani emphasized that fear of accountability and justice should not hinder the successful political transition in South Sudan. He urged the government to fully implement the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS) without fear or favor.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny armed political violence where high records of human rights violations were witnessed and registered,\u201d Yakani asserted, \u201crequires meaningful implementation of transitional justice without any form of fear, favor, or selectivity on aspects of transitional justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

He highlighted the importance of memorialization, reconciliation, forgiveness, healing, reparation, compensation, justice, and accountability as cornerstones for a successful political transition process.<\/p>\n

CEPO\u2019s Transitional Justice Resources Centre called upon the national parliament to demand that the executive leadership, through the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, expedite the presentation of the transitional bills for the CTHR and CRA to the parliament for enactment into laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Sudan\u2019s political transition process cannot be sustained without a meaningful and effective transitional justice process,\u201d Yakani concluded.<\/p>\n
