Sudan: Women working for peace in Darfur

The development of mechanisms - domestically and with an eye toward future international process(es) - to establish accountability, prosecute individuals, and address impunity is one of the recommendations made to the United Nations Security Council by 16 Sudanese women peace builders at a recent meeting in Washington, United States. The women further recommended that international observers and protection officers should work with local women’s organizations on issues such as witness identification to ensure local credibility and legitimacy.
