Cultural Protections: Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan

Implementations

Cultural Protections – 2015

The 2015 Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict called for the creation of a permanent constitution that would respect “ethnic and regional diversity and communal rights, including the rights of communities to preserve their history, develop their language, promote their culture and expression of their identities.”

While some progress was made on the transitional constitution, work on the permanent constitution did not begin in 2015.[1]
