Amendment on Sudan’s Armed Forces Law of 2007 – Letter to the UN Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers

In this letter, REDRESS draws attention to the incompatibility of a proposed amendment of Sudan’s Armed Forces law of 2007 with international human rights obligations binding on Sudan, and urges the UN Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers to urgently raise this matter with the Government of Sudan, with a view to ensuring that any reform undertaken does not include any provisions subjecting civilians to the jurisdiction of military courts.
