Sudan: UN rights officials in Darfur assess how to protect civilians from abuse

High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour and the Secretary-General's Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, Juan Méndez, have arrived in the strife-torn Darfur region of Sudan to examine how to shield helpless civilians from further militia attacks. They have visited camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and talked to African Union (AU) monitors in North Darfur, to get their feedback for future recommendations.
