Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The government of South Sudan disputed the report of the Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan, accusing it of overstepping its mandate.<\/p>\nAddressing the media on Wednesday on South Sudan\u2019s position on the Commission\u2019s report, the Director General for Multilateral Relations in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Amb. Anthony Kon alleged that the commission had \u201cinterfered in the internal governance affairs of the sovereign state.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kon said South Sudan assessed the report of the Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan but discovered that it lacked a mechanism through which it would involve South Sudan in the implementation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is deplorable that the report never took into consideration the efforts of the government in the implementation of the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan 2018 (R-ARCSS),\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n
He further claimed the document contained unverified and unrealistic allegations of human rights violations. He argued that the violations cited, such as political repression, economic predation, discrimination of women, inequality, sexual violence, slavery, and displacement of millions were unproven.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis description of events cannot match the current improvement of the security situation in the country. These unproven and concocted situations do not reflect the current situation. Thus, the paragraph should be deleted,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n
For him, the report portrayed South Sudan as a country \u201clacking visionary leadership to address the violence and abduction,\u201d mentioning that there is no rule of law in the country and that the commission should be removed for interfering with South Sudan\u2019s internal affairs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe report also mentioned an absence of the established rule of law institutions and systems.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis paragraph undermines the status of South Sudan as a sovereign state and a member of the United Nations family. It is a direct interference in the internal affairs of South Sudan, which is an affront to the leadership of this country. As such, we suggest deletion.\u201d He added.<\/p>\n
According to him, the extension of the transitional period was something agreed upon by political leaders, and should not be the mandate of the commission.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe commission should desist from interference in internal affairs and only pay attention to issues within Human Rights Resolution 52\/1. Hence, this paragraph should also be deleted as irrelevant to human rights,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
He claimed that paragraph 13 also talks about the \u201cnegotiation and competition between or among the parties to the R-ARCSS, which is a normal case and should not be coined as a disagreement.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis insertion in the report does not represent the SPLM\/IG nor the SPLM\/IO\u2019s current cordial relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n
