following receipt of the report of the international Commission of
Inquiry.
- Request the U.N. Secretary-General and his Special
Representative in Sudan to put in place a clear strategy to reverse ethnic

displaced persons to their places of origin.

Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter, to protect civilians; support, through
technical expertise, logistical, communications, and other assistance, the
rapid deployment to Darfur of the expanded African Union mission and urge

displaced persons to their places of origin.

persons. Extend the monitors mandate to include the monitoring and
investigation of human rights violations committed by the rebel groups in
addition to abuses committed by other parties to the conflict, and to
regularly publicly report on the human rights situation in Darfur.
- Immediately deploy additional troops in Darfur up to the
agreed upon number of 3,300 so that sufficient troops are located near
camps and concentrations of internally displaced persons, small towns and
rural areas in addition to main towns and require them to investigate,
document and publicly report (within and outside Sudan) ceasefire
violations, attacks on civilians, and to protect civilians in these
areas.
- Pro-actively patrol the main roads and villages,
particularly in rural areas such as Wadi Saleh and Shattaya, to increase
freedom of movement and help create a more secure and stable climate.

crimes committed by any armed group, including Sudanese armed forces,
Janjaweed or other militia, and rebel groups.

prosecutions.
- Fully cooperate with any future investigation of the
crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in Darfur.
- Take all necessary steps, including by issuing clear
public orders to government forces and police including the Border

from all parts of Darfur and all other paramilitary, police or other units
created after 2001.
- Clearly and unequivocally state that no one is entitled to
retain or use any land illegally acquired during the conflict. A temporary
measure interdicting any permanent land transfers should also be put in
place.
- Cease violating the NDjamena ceasefire agreementof
April 8, 2004 and the Protocols on the enhancement of the security
situation and the improvement of the humanitarian situation in Darfur of November 9, 2004.

distribution of humanitarian assistance; extends operations into more
remote rural areas to the greatest extent possible within security limits;
develop a coordinated plan to promptly respond with necessary relief
supplies to those who voluntarily return or move out of displaced persons
camps to resume economic activity.
