General Michel Sleiman, -------���e��n��h��ptibli��dm�-lli�llllillem��4he-Syfian-----­ refugee crisis on Lebanon. I fully share the concerns of President Sleiman regarding the unsustainable burden placed on the Lebanese Government. It is a major preoccupation of mine and I am repeatedly drawing the issue to the attention of key members of the international community. The United Nations is absolutely committed to assisting the Lebanese authorities in mobilizing the resources necessary to address the overwhelming consequences of the Syrian refugee crisis. On 7 June 2013 the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees launched the revised Syria Regional Response Plan, which seeks US$ 2.9 billion to address the needs of 3.5 million Syrian refugees, as well as 1.9 million affected people in the host countries of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey until the end of the year. This Plan was drafted in full consultation with the Lebanese authorities. It foresees that US$ 1.2 billion will be directed to multilateral emergency relief efforts in Lebanon, if funding is made available. The Plan also presents the own requirements of the Government ofLebanon ofUS$ million ' 450 to support national institutions. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees travelled to Lebanon on 18 June 2013 to review the situation with the Government. He took the opportunity to call on the international community to urgently provide the resources required to assist Syrian refugees and other people affected by the crisis and preserve the stability of Lebano·n. His Excellency Dr. Nabil Elaraby Secretary General of the League of Arab States Cairo l3- oS9'D� Noting thep oints made during your phone call with President Sleiman, I also assure you of the support of the relevant United Nations agencies in Lebanon. I welcome the proposal for an international conference on the impact of¢.e Syrian crisis on Lebanon and look forward to working with President Sleiman and you in encouraging the international community to support such a conference. Please accept, Excellency, the assurance�·of my highest consideration. B CONFIDENTIAL ACTION � COPY I§� Immediate Note to Mr. Eliasson Benchmarks to the Security Council on South Sudan 1. As you will recall, the Secretary-General's report on South Sudan, which was published on _ --· 20 June recommended a further one- ear extension of the mandate of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). It stated that "the end goal remains for the Government to progressive y everop-­ its ability and authority to prevent, mitigate and resolve inter-communal tensions and conflicts through an effectively functioning civilian administration where law and order institutions play a ----centraLwle.--Ihe-S-udan People'sLiberation Army (SPLA) should be graduallytransformed and its operational activities restricted to national defence". It was noted, due to the ongoing consultations with the Government, that "benchmarks for measuring progress towards this end-state will be circulated separately to the Council Members." 2. Attached are the benchmarks against which progress over the last three months has been measured. They are consistent with the previous period. Negative trends were, however, noted in three areas, namely in the area of the protection of civilians; the work of the Anti-Corruption Commission; and the alignment of national legislation with international human rights standards. On a positive note, some progress was noted in the reform of the South Sudan National Police Service. 3. The Security Council plans to hold consultations on UNMISS's mandate on 8 July. We / would be grateful to receive your approval for the document to be circulated in advance of those consultations. Attached please find a draft transmittal letter for approval and signature of the Secretary-General. - r Herve Ladsous 27 June 2013 cc: Ms. Malcorra Ms. Haq n , I -· Secretary-GeaeraJ.

    Spoils of War, Spoilers of Peace Changing the Calculus of South Sudan's Deadly Conflict ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… By Justine Fleischner September 2014 COVER PHOTO: South Sudan President Salva Kiir, front right, and former Vice President Riek Machar pay respects at the grave of Dr. John Garang in Juba, South Sudan. AP image, 2010 Spoils of War, Spoilers of Peace Changing the Calculus of South Sudan's Deadly Conflict By Justine Fleischner September 2014 Executive Summary and Recommendations South Sudan's civil war, which has exacted a terrible toll on its civilian population, has its origins in a power struggle between factions aligned with President Salva Kiir and those who have joined former Vice President Riek Machar. Despite repeated pledges to put down their weapons,1 both sides have demonstrated a clear commitment to a military “solution” instead of a negotiated settlement.2 The country’s competing privileged elites are sacrificing their own peoples’ lives to secure the political and economic benefits—including massive state-corroding corruption—derived from control of the state.3 In his opening remarks at the latest round of peace talks underway in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, chief negotiator Seyoum Mesfin told the parties, “If you are committed to peace, you will not find it through the barrel of the gun, but around this table.”4 Simply put, unless the calculations of the leaders of the warring parties are altered, the war will continue and likely intensify. The application of a globally enforced targeted sanctions regime could change the calculus of warring elites and end impunity for mass atrocities, the obstruction of humanitarian aid, and violations of the cessation of hostilities agreement.

Republic of South Sudan (RSS) Minister of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Welcome Message of the Minister of Commerce, Industry and Investment of the Republic of South Sudan For the past two years since our country’s independence, we have been striving to rebuild our Nation. We have made important advances in key aspects such as passing relevant legislation, developing our institutions and signing agreements with our neighbors and the world. The first and foremost objective of the Government of South Sudan is to develop those sectors which will provide food security and make the best rational use of our country’s vast natural resources. Abundant land and water and massive unmet local and regional demand for goods and services creates opportunities in all areas of agriculture, forestry and fisheries as well as in a wide range of crops such as cereals, oilseeds, sugar, horticulture, floriculture, coffee, tea and many other specialty crops. Most of South Sudan’s significant mineral wealth is as yet untapped. The country holds tremendous potential as evidenced by the existing production in South Sudan as well as recent oil finds in neighboring Uganda and Kenya. There are also opportunities in infrastructure such as oil pipelines and downstream projects such as refineries.

  • Global Knowledge Transfer Report English Prooved
    Global Knowledge Transfer 2002-2012 C. Sudan 1. Background A group from the Max Planck Institute has been supporting the peace process since 2002, as well as the transformation process following South Sudan’s independence in 2011. The initiative came from Prof. Wolfrum, who simultaneously offered the expertise of the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law to both the government of Sudan and the leadership of the Sudan’s People Liberation Movement (SPLM). Train the Trainers Workshop in Khartoum 9 Global Knowledge Transfer 2002-2012 2. Projects a. Constitutional advice The background of this initiative was that, at the start of 2002, the peace negotiations between the national government (Government of Sudan, GoS) and the SPLM had stalled. These negotiations were initiated by the regional development organisation IGAD (Intergovernmental Authority on Development) and were aimed at ending the civil war which had lasted more than 20 years. In mid-2002, the talks were restarted and, following tough negotiations, resulted in six peace protocols, which are essential features of the peace agreement which was signed on 9 January 2005. The neutral legal advice offered by the team from the Max Planck Institute in relation to constitutional questions facilitated bringing both parties together at the negotiation table and also aided them in formulating the political compromises that were settled upon in a constitutional text. Discussion of key questions about a future Sudanese constitution with civil society In April 2002, Prof. Wolfrum initiated a dialogue with both parties of the civil war for the development of a draft framework for a future common constitution.
