Verification/Monitoring Mechanism – 2010
2010
While all verification mechanisms were working steadily, very little progress was made in terms of the revivification of redeployments and joint integrated units. According to the report, the SAF redeployment from the south was completed and the SPLA redeployment from the north stood only at 37.7%, as verified at the CJMC meeting of 14-15 December. Nevertheless, the SPLA redeployed from the Nuba Mountains to White Lake Jaw and Duar. In Duar, only 752 of 2,700 SPLA troops were confirmed present.1 The verified size of the JIUs remained unchanged since April 2009.
Along with the monitoring and verification of troop redeployment and deployment of the JIUs, the UNMIS continued its civilian monitoring and protection activities across the Sudan as well as human rights monitoring and promotion activities. This however, does not mean that the UNMIS had successfully carried out its mandate related to verification and monitoring of the ceasefire agreement.
