Towards Peace and Security in Sudan

Briefing for House of Commons debate on Sudan, 28 April 2011

As the international community decides how it will engage with the two new states which will be created when South Sudan secedes in July 2011, addressing the root causes of conflict and insecurity should be a top priority. A wide range of issues will need to be addressed as the period of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) comes to a close, and the international community will need to find a common approach to incentivising actors in both North and South to uphold their commitments, and mitigating any trends toward corruption or violence. This briefing gives recommendations on just some of the ways in which the UK Government can assist the people of Sudan to build sustainable peace.
