               the progress achieved on humanitarian access, and expressing concern that

               the need to foster and restore the confidence of vulnerable populations and to

S/RES/1564 (2004)


                     Welcoming that the Government of Sudan has taken a number of steps to lift
               administrative obstructions to the delivery of humanitarian relief, which has resulted
               in access for an increased number of humanitarian personnel in Darfur as well as
               international human rights non-governmental institutions, and recognizing that the
               Government of Sudan has broadened its cooperation with United Nations
               humanitarian agencies and their partners,
                    Urging the Government of Sudan and the rebel groups to facilitate this
               humanitarian relief by allowing unfettered access for humanitarian supplies and
               workers, including across Sudan’s borders with Chad and Libya by land and by air
               as may be required,
                     Expressing grave concern at the lack of progress with regard to security and
               the protection of civilians, disarmament of the Janjaweed militias and identification
               and bringing to justice of the Janjaweed leaders responsible for human rights and
               international humanitarian law violations in Darfur,
                    Recalling that the Sudanese Government bears the primary responsibility to
               protect its population within its territory, to respect human rights, and to maintain
               law and order, and that all parties are obliged to respect international humanitarian
               law,
                    Stressing that the Sudanese rebel groups, particularly the Justice and Equality
               Movement and the Sudanese Liberation Army/Movement, must also take all
               necessary steps to respect international humanitarian and human rights law,
                     Emphasizing that the ultimate resolution of the crisis in Darfur must include
               the safe and voluntary return of internally displaced persons and refugees to their
               original homes, and noting in that regard the 21 August 2004 Memorandum of
               Understanding between the Government of Sudan and the International Organization
               for Migration (IOM),
                     Expressing its determination to do everything possible to end the suffering of
               the people of Darfur,
                    Determining that the situation in Sudan constitutes a threat to international
               peace and security and to stability in the region,
                    Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter,
                    1.    Declares its grave concern that the Government of Sudan has not fully
               met its obligations noted in resolution 1556 (2004) and the 3 July Joint
               Communiqué with the Secretary-General to improve, as expected by the Council,
               the security of the civilian population of Darfur in the face of continued
               depredations, and deplores the recent ceasefire violations by all parties, in particular
               the reports by the Cease Fire Commission of Government of Sudan helicopter
               assaults and Janjaweed attacks on Yassin, Hashaba and Gallab villages on 26 August
               2004;
                    2.   Welcomes and supports the intention of the African Union to enhance and
               augment its monitoring mission in the Darfur region of Sudan, and encourages the
               undertaking of proactive monitoring;
                    3.   Urges Member States to support the African Union in these efforts
               including by providing all equipment, logistical, financial, material, and other
               resources necessary to support the rapid expansion of the African Union Mission

            de 2004 (S/2004/703) y los progresos realizados en cuanto al acceso con fines humanitarios, observando con preocupación que los párrafos 59 a 67 indiquen que el
            Gobierno del Sudán no ha cumplido plenamente los compromisos contraídos en
            virtud de la resolución 1556 (2004), teniendo en cuenta la necesidad de promover y
            restablecer la confianza de las poblaciones vulnerables y de mejorar radicalmente la

S/RES/1564 (2004)


                    Observando con satisfacción que el Gobierno del Sudán ha tomado diversas
               medidas para levantar los obstáculos administrativos a la distribución del socorro
               humanitario, lo que ha permitido el acceso de un mayor número de personal humanitario
               a Darfur así como de las instituciones internacionales de derechos humanos e instituciones no gubernamentales, y reconociendo que el Gobierno del Sudán ha ampliado su cooperación con los organismos humanitarios de las Naciones Unidas y sus
               asociados;
                    Instando al Gobierno del Sudán y a los grupos rebeldes a que faciliten este
               socorro humanitario permitiendo el acceso sin trabas de todos los suministros y el
               personal humanitarios, en particular el que sea necesario a través de las fronteras
               del Sudán con el Chad y Libia por tierra y por aire,
                     Observando con profunda preocupación que no se ha avanzado en cuanto a dar
               seguridad y protección al personal civil, desarmar a las milicias Janjaweed e identificar y poner a disposición de la justicia a los líderes militares responsables de las
               transgresiones de los derechos humanos y del derecho humanitario internacional
               en Darfur,
                    Recordando que recae en el Gobierno del Sudán la responsabilidad primordial
               de proteger a la población dentro de su territorio, de respetar los derechos humanos
               y de mantener el orden público y que todas las partes están obligadas a respetar el
               derecho humanitario internacional,
                    Destacando que todos los grupos rebeldes sudaneses, en particular el Movimiento de Justicia e Igualdad y el Ejército/Movimiento de Liberación del Sudán,
               deben también tomar todas las medidas necesarias para respetar el derecho internacional humanitario y las normas de derechos humanos,
                     Poniendo de relieve que la solución definitiva de la crisis en Darfur debe incluir el regreso voluntario y en condiciones de seguridad de las personas desplazadas
               dentro del país y los refugiados a sus lugares de origen, y tomando nota a este respecto del Memorando de Entendimiento de 21 de agosto de 2004 entre el Gobierno
               del Sudán y la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM),
                    Expresando su determinación de hacer todo lo posible por poner fin al sufrimiento de la población de Darfur,
                     Determinando que la situación en el Sudán constituye una amenaza a la paz y
               la seguridad internacionales y a la estabilidad en la región,
                    Actuando en virtud del Capítulo VII de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas,
                     1.   Declara con profunda preocupación que el Gobierno del Sudán no ha
               cumplido cabalmente sus obligaciones indicadas en la resolución 1556 (2004) y en
               el Comunicado Conjunto con el Secretario General de 3 de julio de mejorar, como el
               Consejo esperaba, la situación de seguridad de la población civil de Darfur frente a
               las continuas depredaciones, y deplora las infracciones de la cesación del fuego cometidas recientemente por todas las partes, en particular, según los informes de la
               Unión Africana, los ataques realizados con helicópteros por el Gobierno del Sudán y
               los ataques perpetrados por las milicias Janjaweed en las poblaciones de Yassin,
               Hashaba y Gallab el 26 de agosto de 2004;

                     2.   Acoge con satisfacción y apoya la intención de la Unión Africana de
               mejorar y ampliar su misión de vigilancia en la región de Darfur en el Sudán, y
               alienta a una vigilancia proactiva;
                     3.    Insta a los Estados Miembros a que respalden a la Unión Africana en
               esa labor, en particular mediante el suministro del equipo y los recursos logísticos,
               financieros, materiales y de otra índole necesarios para prestar apoyo a la rápida
               ampliación de la Misión de la Unión Africana, y a las gestiones que ésta realiza, con
               el fin de llegar a una conclusión pacífica de la crisis y de proteger el bienestar de la
               población de Darfur, observa con satisfacción que el Gobierno del Sudán en la carta
               que le dirigió el 9 de septiembre de 2004 ha pedido a la Unión Africana que aumente su vigilancia en Darfur, e insta al Gobierno del Sudán a que tome todas las
               medidas necesarias para cumplir este compromiso y cooperar plenamente con la
               Unión Africana para lograr un entorno seguro y estable;
                     4.    Insta al Gobierno del Sudán y a los grupos rebeldes, en particular al
               Movimiento de Justicia e Igualdad y el Movimiento/Ejército de Liberación del Sudán, a que trabajen de consuno bajo los auspicios de la Unión Africana para llegar a
               una solución política en las negociaciones que se están celebrando en Abuja bajo la
               dirección del Presidente Obasanjo, toma nota de los progresos logrados hasta la fecha, insta a las partes en las negociaciones a que firmen y apliquen inmediatamente
               el acuerdo humanitario y a que concluya lo antes posible un protocolo sobre cuestiones de seguridad, y pone de relieve y apoya el papel de la Unión Africana en la
               supervisión de la aplicación de todos los acuerdos concertados;
                    5.    Insta al Gobierno del Sudán y al Movimiento de Liberación del Pueblo
               Sudanés a que concierten sin tardanza un acuerdo general de paz como medida
               esencial para el desarrollo de un Sudán pacífico y próspero;
                     6.   Afirma la necesidad de permitir que las personas desplazadas dentro del
               país y los refugiados regresen a sus hogares en forma voluntaria y en condiciones
               de seguridad y dignidad, pero únicamente cuando haya asistencia y seguridad
               suficientes;
                     7.    Reitera su llamamiento al Gobierno del Sudán para que ponga término al
               clima de impunidad que reina en Darfur, identificando y poniendo a disposición de
               la justicia a todos los responsables, incluidos los miembros de las fuerzas populares
               de defensa y las milicias Janjaweed, de los abusos generalizados de los derechos
               humanos y las transgresiones del derecho internacional humanitario, e insiste en que
               el Gobierno del Sudán tome todas las medidas necesarias para poner fin a todos los
               actos de violencia y atrocidades;
                    8.    Pide a todas las partes sudanesas que adopten las medidas necesarias
               para hacer frente de inmediato a las infracciones denunciadas por la Unión Africana
               y hacer rendir cuentas de sus actos a los responsables de ellas;
                    9.    Exige que el Gobierno del Sudán presente a la Misión de la Unión Africana la documentación, en particular los nombres de los milicianos Janjaweed
               desarmados y los nombres de los detenidos por abusos de los derechos humanos y
               transgresiones del derecho humanitario internacional, que permita verificar si ha
               cumplido la resolución 1556 (2004) y el acuerdo de cesación del fuego de Nyamena
               de 8 de abril de 2004;

               o no actos de genocidio e identifique a los autores de tales transgresiones a fin de
               que los responsables rindan cuentas de sus actos, hace un llamamiento a todas las
               partes para que cooperen plenamente con esa comisión, y pide además al Secretario

               generosas y continuas a la labor humanitaria que se realiza en Darfur y el Chad a fin
               de enjugar los déficit en atención a los llamamientos que sigan haciendo las Naciones Unidas, pone de relieve la necesidad de que los Estados Miembros cumplan sus

               Adoptée par le Conseil de sécurité à sa 5040e séance,
               le 18 septembre 2004

                    Le Conseil de sécurité,
                     Rappelant sa résolution 1556 (2004) du 30 juillet 2004, la déclaration faite par
               son président le 25 mai 2004 (S/PRST/2004/18), sa résolution 1547 (2004) du
               11 juin 2004 et sa résolution 1502 (2003) du 26 août 2003, et tenant compte du Plan
               d’action dont sont convenus le Représentant spécial du Secrétaire général pour le
               Soudan et le Gouvernement soudanais,
                    Accueillant avec satisfaction le rapport du Secrétaire général en date du
               30 août 2004 (S/2004/703) et les progrès accomplis en ce qui concerne
               l’acheminement de l’aide humanitaire, se déclarant préoccupé de voir que les
               paragraphes 59 à 67 dudit rapport indiquent que le Gouvernement soudanais ne s’est
               pas acquitté pleinement des engagements qu’il avait pris aux termes de la résolution
               1556 (2004), prenant en considération la nécessité de stimuler et faire renaître la
               confiance de populations vulnérables et d’améliorer radicalement le climat de
               sécurité dans le Darfour, et se félicitant des recommandations contenues dans le
               rapport, notamment s’agissant de l’utilité d’une présence sensiblement accrue de la
               Mission de l’Union africaine dans la région soudanaise du Darfour,
                   Saluant le rôle de premier plan assumé par l’Union africaine et sa volonté de
               remédier à la situation dans le Darfour,
                    Prenant note avec satisfaction de la lettre du 6 septembre 2004, adressée au
               Président du Conseil de sécurité par le Président de l’Union africaine, Olusegun
               Obasanjo, Président du Nigéria, dans laquelle notamment il lance un appel à la
               communauté internationale pour qu’elle appuie la prolongation de la Mission de
               l’Union africaine dans le Darfour,
                     Réaffirmant son attachement à la souveraineté, à l’unité, à l’intégrité
               territoriale et à l’indépendance du Soudan, conformément au Protocole de
               Machakos, en date du 20 juillet 2002, et aux accords ultérieurs qui en découlent,
               comme en est convenu le Gouvernement soudanais,
                    Rappelant le Communiqué commun publié le 3 juillet 2004 par le

S/RES/1564 (2004)


              Représentant spécial du Secrétaire général pour atteindre les buts énoncés dans le
              Communiqué et appliquer les dispositions de la résolution 1556 (2004),
                    Se félicitant que le Gouvernement soudanais ait pris un certain nombre de
              mesures pour lever les obstacles d’ordre administratif à l’acheminement des secours
              humanitaires, permettant ainsi l’accès au Darfour à un plus grand nombre d’agents
              d’organismes d’aide humanitaire ainsi qu’à des organisations non gouvernementales
              internationales qui s’occupent des droits de l’homme, et conscient que le
              Gouvernement soudanais a développé ses liens de coopération avec les organismes
              d’aide humanitaire des Nations Unies et les organisations associées à leur action,
                    Demandant instamment au Gouvernement soudanais et aux groupes rebelles de
              faciliter les secours humanitaires en accordant aux fournitures et aux travailleurs
              humanitaires un accès sans entraves, y compris aux frontières tchadienne et libyenne
              du Soudan, par voie terrestre et aérienne selon qu’il conviendra,
                    Constatant avec une vive préoccupation l’absence de progrès concernant la
              sécurité et la protection des civils, le désarmement des milices janjaouites ainsi que
              l’identification et la traduction en justice des chefs de milice qui ont commis des
              violations des droits de l’homme et du droit international humanitaire dans le
              Darfour,
                    Rappelant qu’il incombe au premier chef au Gouvernement soudanais de
              protéger sa population sur son territoire, de respecter les droits de l’homme et de
              maintenir l’ordre public, et que toutes les parties sont tenues de respecter le droit
              international humanitaire,
                    Soulignant que les groupes rebelles soudanais, notamment le Mouvement pour
              la justice et l’égalité et l’Armée/Mouvement de libération du Soudan doivent aussi
              prendre toutes les mesures nécessaires pour respecter le droit international
              humanitaire et les instruments relatifs aux droits de l’homme,
                    Soulignant que le règlement final de la crise du Darfour doit comporter le
              retour librement consenti et sans risque des personnes déplacées et des réfugiés dans
              leurs foyers d’origine, et prenant note à cet égard du Mémorandum d’accord signé
              le 21 août 2004 entre le Gouvernement soudanais et l’Organisation internationale
              pour les migrations (OIM),
                   Se déclarant résolu à faire tout ce qui est en son pouvoir pour soulager les
              souffrances de la population du Darfour,
                   Affirmant que la situation au Soudan constitue une menace à la paix et à la
              sécurité internationales et à la stabilité de la région,
                    Agissant en vertu du Chapitre VII de la Charte des Nations Unies,
                    1.   Se déclare gravement préoccupé par le fait que le Gouvernement
              soudanais ne s’est pas pleinement acquitté des obligations qui lui incombent en
              vertu de la résolution 1556 (2004) et du Communiqué commun avec le Secrétaire
              général, en date du 3 juillet 2004, visant à améliorer, comme l’escomptait le
              Conseil, la sécurité de la population civile du Darfour face aux déprédations
              persistantes, et déplore les récentes violations du cessez-le-feu par toutes les parties,
              et notamment les attaques par hélicoptère du Gouvernement soudanais et les
              attaques de Janjaouites contre les villages de Yassin, Hashaba et Gallab le 26 août
              2004, signalés par la Commission du cessez-le-feu;

                     2.   Approuve et appuie l’intention de l’Union africaine de renforcer et
               d’élargir sa mission d’observation dans la région soudanaise du Darfour et
               encourage la mise en œuvre d’un suivi dynamique;
                     3.    Engage les États Membres à appuyer ces efforts de l’Union africaine,
               notamment en fournissant tout l’équipement et les ressources logistiques,
               financières, matérielles et autres qu’exige l’expansion rapide de la mission de
               l’Union africaine et en appuyant les efforts de l’Union africaine visant une
               conclusion pacifique de la crise et la protection du bien-être de la population du
               Darfour, note avec satisfaction que le Gouvernement soudanais, dans la lettre qu’il a
               adressée au Conseil de sécurité le 9 septembre 2004, a demandé à l’Union africaine
               d’accroître ses activités d’observation dans le Darfour, et lui demande instamment
               de prendre toutes les mesures nécessaires pour respecter l’engagement pris dans ce
               sens et coopérer pleinement avec l’Union africaine pour garantir un environnement
               sûr et stable;
                     4.   Demande au Gouvernement soudanais et aux groupes rebelles,
               notamment le Mouvement pour la justice et l’égalité et l’Armée/Mouvement de
               libération du Soudan de coopérer sous les auspices de l’Union africaine pour
               parvenir à une solution politique dans le cadre des négociations qui ont lieu
               actuellement à Abuja, sous la direction du Président Obasanjo, note les progrès
               accomplis à ce jour, prie instamment les parties aux négociations de signer et de
               mettre en œuvre immédiatement l’accord relatif aux questions humanitaires et de
               conclure dès que possible un protocole sur les questions de sécurité, et souligne et
               appuie le rôle de l’Union africaine dans le suivi de la mise en œuvre de tous accords
               conclus dans ces domaines;
                     5.   Demande instamment au Gouvernement soudanais et au Mouvement de
               libération du peuple soudanais de conclure promptement un accord de paix global
               dont dépendra l’avènement d’un Soudan pacifique et prospère;
                    6.    Considère que les personnes déplacées, les réfugiés et autres groupes de
               population vulnérables devraient être autorisés à rentrer chez eux de leur plein gré,
               en toute sécurité et dans la dignité, et seulement lorsque les arrangements voulus en
               matière d’assistance et de sécurité seront en place;
                     7.   Réitère son appel au Gouvernement soudanais pour qu’il mette fin au
               climat d’impunité dans le Darfour en identifiant et en déférant à la justice tous les
               responsables des multiples atteintes aux droits de l’homme et des violations du droit
               humanitaire international, y compris les membres des forces de défense populaires
               et des milices janjaouites, et insiste pour que le Gouvernement soudanais prenne
               toutes mesures nécessaires pour faire cesser toutes les violences et atrocités;
                    8.    Demande à toutes les parties soudanaises de prendre les mesures
               nécessaires pour que les violations signalées par la Commission de cessez-le-feu
               fassent l’objet d’une attention immédiate et pour que les responsables aient à
               répondre de leurs actes;
                     9.   Exige que le Gouvernement soudanais donne à la mission de l’Union
               africaine, pour vérification, des preuves – notamment les noms des miliciens
               janjaouites désarmés et de ceux qui ont été arrêtés pour atteintes aux droits de
               l’homme et violations du droit international humanitaire – montrant qu’il se
               conforme aux exigences de la résolution 1556 (2004) ainsi qu’aux engagements pris
               dans l’Accord de cessez-le-feu conclu le 8 avril 2004 à N’Djamena;

S/RES/1564 (2004)


                    10. Exige que tous les groupes armés, y compris les forces rebelles, cessent
              toutes violences, coopèrent aux efforts internationaux de secours humanitaires et de
              contrôle et fassent en sorte que leurs membres respectent le droit international

              Darfour, conformément aux engagements qu’il a pris;
                    12. Prie le Secrétaire général de créer rapidement une commission
              internationale d’enquête pour enquêter immédiatement sur les informations faisant
              état de violations du droit international humanitaire et des instruments
              internationaux relatifs aux droits de l’homme par toutes les parties dans le Darfour,
              pour déterminer également si des actes de génocide ont eu lieu et pour identifier les
              auteurs de ces violations afin de s’assurer que les responsables aient à répondre de
              leurs actes, demande à toutes les parties de coopérer pleinement avec cette
              commission, et prie en outre le Secrétaire général, de concert avec le Haut
              Commissariat aux droits de l’homme, de prendre des mesures appropriées pour
              augmenter le nombre des observateurs des droits de l’homme déployés dans le

              Darfour et au Tchad, la réponse aux appels lancés à plusieurs reprises par

              membres, au cas où le Gouvernement soudanais n’appliquerait pas pleinement les
              dispositions de la résolution 1556 (2004) ou de la présente résolution, notamment au
              cas où le Conseil déterminerait, après avoir consulté l’Union africaine, que le
              Gouvernement soudanais ne coopère pas pleinement au renforcement et à la
              prolongation de la mission d’observation de l’Union africaine dans le Darfour, ce

               зации целей Коммюнике и требований резолюции 1556 (2004),
                   приветствуя тот факт, что правительство Судана приняло ряд мер по лик-
               видации административных препятствий, мешающих доставке чрезвычайной
               гуманитарной помощи, что позволило обеспечить доступ большему числу гу-
               манитарных работников в Дарфуре, а также международных правозащитных
               неправительственных учреждений, и отмечая, что правительство Судана рас-
               ширило свое сотрудничество c гуманитарными учреждениями Организации
               Объединенных Наций и их партнерами,
                    настоятельно призывая правительство Судана и повстанческие группи-
               ровки содействовать доставке этой чрезвычайной гуманитарной помощи, обес-
               печивая беспрепятственный доступ для гуманитарных грузов и сотрудников, в
               том числе через границу Судана с Чадом и Ливией, по суше и по воздуху, если
               возникнет такая необходимость,
                    выражая серьезную обеспокоенность по поводу отсутствия прогресса в
               обеспечении безопасности и защиты гражданских лиц, разоружения формиро-
               ваний «Джанджавид» и выявления и привлечения к суду лидеров формирова-
               ний «Джанджавид», виновных в нарушениях прав человека и норм междуна-
               родного гуманитарного права в Дарфуре,

               защиту своего населения на своей территории, соблюдение прав человека и
               поддержание правопорядка и что все стороны обязаны соблюдать нормы меж-
               дународного гуманитарного права,

               жение за справедливость и равенство и Освободительная армия/движение Су-
               дана, должны также принимать все необходимые меры в целях соблюдения
               норм международного гуманитарного права и стандартов в области прав чело-
               века,
                    особо отмечая, что окончательное урегулирование кризиса в Дарфуре
               должно предусматривать безопасное и добровольное возвращение перемещен-
               ных внутри страны лиц и беженцев в места своего прежнего проживания, и
               отмечая в этой связи Меморандум о взаимопонимании между правительством
               Судана и Международной организацией по миграции (МОМ) от 21 августа
               2004 года,
                   заявляя о своей решимости сделать все возможное для прекращения стра-

               ций,
                    1.   с глубокой обеспокоенностью заявляет, что правительство Судана не
               выполнило в полном объеме своих указанных в резолюции 1556 (2004) и в
               подписанном с Генеральным секретарем Совместном коммюнике от 3 июля
               обязательств улучшить, как того ожидает Совет, условия в плане безопасности
               гражданского населения Дарфура перед лицом непрекращающихся нападений,

нутый на сегодняшний день прогресс, настоятельно призывает стороны в пе-
реговорах незамедлительно подписать и осуществить соглашение по гумани-
тарным вопросам и как можно скорее подписать протокол по вопросам безо-

осуществления контроля за выполнением всех таких достигнутых соглашений;
     5.   настоятельно призывает правительство Судана и Народно-
освободительное движение Судана к скорейшему заключению всеобъемлюще-
го мирного соглашения, имеющего крайне важное значение для развития мир-

     6.   подтверждает, что перемещенным внутри страны лицам, беженцам
и другим уязвимым слоям населения необходимо дать возможность возвра-
титься в свои дома на добровольной основе, в условиях безопасности и уваже-
ния достоинства и только тогда, когда будут обеспечены надлежащая помощь и
безопасность;
     7.   вновь подтверждает свой призыв к правительству Судана положить

там насилия и злодеяниям;

               формирований «Джанджавид», и имена лиц, арестованных за нарушения прав
               человека и норм международного гуманитарного права, в контексте выполне-
               ния им положений резолюции 1556 (2004) и Нджаменского соглашения о пре-
               кращении огня от 8 апреля 2004 года;
                    10. требует, чтобы все вооруженные группы, включая повстанческие
               силы, прекратили все акты насилия, содействовали международным усилиям

            the progress achieved on humanitarian access, and expressing concern that
            paragraphs 59-67 indicate that the Government of Sudan has not fulfilled the
            entirety of its commitments under resolution 1556 (2004) and taking into account
            the need to foster and restore the confidence of vulnerable populations and to
            improve radically the overall security environment in Darfur; and welcoming the
            recommendations contained in the report, particularly those concerning the
            desirability of a substantially increased African Union Mission presence in the
            Darfur region of Sudan,
                 Welcoming the leadership role and the engagement of the African Union in
            addressing the situation in Darfur,
                 Welcoming the 6 September 2004 letter to the President of the Security Council

S/2004/744


                   Welcoming that the Government of Sudan has taken a number of steps to lift
             administrative obstructions to the delivery of humanitarian relief, which has resulted
             in access for an increased number of humanitarian personnel in Darfur as well as
             international human rights non-governmental institutions, and recognizing that the
             Government of Sudan has broadened its cooperation with United Nations
             humanitarian agencies and their partners,
                  Urging the Government of Sudan and the rebel groups to facilitate this
             humanitarian relief by allowing unfettered access for humanitarian supplies and
             workers, including across Sudan’s borders with Chad and Libya by land and by air
             as may be required,
                   Expressing grave concern at the lack of progress with regard to security and
             the protection of civilians, disarmament of the Janjaweed militias and identification
             and bringing to justice of the Janjaweed leaders responsible for human rights and
             international humanitarian law violations in Darfur,
                  Recalling that the Sudanese Government bears the primary responsibility to
             protect its population within its territory, to respect human rights, and to maintain
             law and order, and that all parties are obliged to respect international humanitarian
             law,
                  Stressing that the Sudanese rebel groups, particularly the Justice and Equality
             Movement and the Sudanese Liberation Army/Movement, must also take all
             necessary steps to respect international humanitarian and human rights law,
                   Emphasizing that the ultimate resolution of the crisis in Darfur must include
             the safe and voluntary return of internally displaced persons and refugees to their
             original homes, and noting in that regard the 21 August 2004 Memorandum of
             Understanding between the Government of Sudan and the International Organization
             for Migration (IOM),
                   Expressing its determination to do everything possible to end the suffering of
             the people of Darfur,
                  Determining that the situation in Sudan constitutes a threat to international
             peace and security and to stability in the region,
                  Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter,
                  1.    Declares its grave concern that the Government of Sudan has not fully
             met its obligations noted in resolution 1556 (2004) and the 3 July Joint
             Communiqué with the Secretary-General to improve, as expected by the Council,
             the security of the civilian population of Darfur in the face of continued
             depredations, and deplores the recent ceasefire violations by all parties, in particular
             the reports by the Cease Fire Commission of Government of Sudan helicopter
             assaults and Janjaweed attacks on Yassin, Hashaba and Gallab villages on 26 August
             2004;
                  2.   Welcomes and supports the intention of the African Union to enhance and
             augment its monitoring mission in the Darfur region of Sudan, and encourages the
             undertaking of proactive monitoring;
                  3.   Urges Member States to support the African Union in these efforts
             including by providing all equipment, logistical, financial, material, and other
             resources necessary to support the rapid expansion of the African Union Mission

and by supporting the efforts of the African Union aimed at a peaceful conclusion of
the crisis and the protection of the welfare of the people of Darfur, welcomes the
Government of Sudan’s request to the African Union to increase its monitoring

the Government of Sudan to take all steps necessary to follow through with this
commitment and to cooperate fully with the African Union to ensure a secure and
stable environment;
      4.   Calls upon the Government of Sudan and the rebel groups, particularly
the Justice and Equality Movement and the Sudanese Liberation Army/Movement,
to work together under the auspices of the African Union to reach a political
solution in the negotiations currently being held in Abuja under the leadership of
President Obasanjo, notes the progress made to date, urges the parties to the

impunity in Darfur by identifying and bringing to justice all those responsible,
including members of popular defense forces and Janjaweed militias, for the
widespread human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law,
and insists that the Government of Sudan take all appropriate steps to stop all
violence and atrocities;
      8.    Calls on all Sudanese parties to take the necessary steps to ensure that
violations reported by the Cease Fire Commission are addressed immediately and
that those responsible for such violations are held accountable;
      9.    Demands that the Government of Sudan submit to the African Union
Mission for verification documentation, particularly the names of Janjaweed
militiamen disarmed and names of those arrested for human rights abuses and
violations of international humanitarian law, with regard to its performance relative
to resolution 1556 (2004) and the 8 April 2004 N’djamena ceasefire agreement;
      10. Demands all armed groups, including rebel forces, cease all violence,
cooperate with international humanitarian relief and monitoring efforts and ensure
that their members comply with international humanitarian law, and facilitate the
safety and security of humanitarian staff;
     11. Reiterates its full support for the 8 April 2004 N’djamena ceasefire
agreement, and in this regard urges the Government of Sudan to refrain from
conducting military flights in and over the Darfur region in accordance with its
commitments;
    12. Requests that the Secretary-General rapidly establish an international
commission of inquiry in order immediately to investigate reports of violations of


                                                                                                3

S/2004/744


             international humanitarian law and human rights law in Darfur by all parties, to
             determine also whether or not acts of genocide have occurred, and to identify the
             perpetrators of such violations with a view to ensuring that those responsible are
             held accountable, calls on all parties to cooperate fully with such a commission, and
             further requests the Secretary-General, in conjunction with the Office of the High
             Commissioner for Human Rights, to take appropriate steps to increase the number of
             human rights monitors deployed to Darfur;
                   13. Calls on Member States to provide in an urgent manner generous and
             sustained contributions to the humanitarian efforts under way in Darfur and Chad to
             address the shortfall in response to continued United Nations appeals, emphasizes
             the need for Member States to fulfil their pledges forthwith, and welcomes the
             substantial contributions made to date;
                   14. Declares that the Council, in the event the Government of Sudan fails to
             comply fully with resolution 1556 (2004) or this resolution, including, as
             determined by the Council after consultations with the African Union, failure to
             cooperate fully with the expansion and extension of the African Union monitoring
             mission in Darfur, shall consider taking additional measures as contemplated in
             Article 41 of the Charter of the United Nations, such as actions to affect Sudan’s
             petroleum sector and the Government of Sudan or individual members of the
             Government of Sudan, in order to take effective action to obtain such full
             compliance or full cooperation;
                  15. Requests that, in the monthly reports pursuant to resolution 1556 (2004),
             the Secretary-General report to the Council on the progress or lack thereof by the
             Government of Sudan in complying with the Council’s demands in this resolution
             and the effort by the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation
             Movement to conclude a comprehensive peace accord on an urgent basis;

     The meeting was called to order at 3.35 p.m.                  It is my understanding that the Council is ready to
                                                             proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it.
Adoption of the agenda                                       Unless I hear any objection, I shall put the draft
                                                             resolution to the vote.
     The agenda was adopted.
                                                                  There being no objection it is so decided.
Report of the Secretary-General on the Sudan
                                                                 I shall first call on those members of the Council
                                                             who wish to make statements before the voting.
     Report of the Secretary-General pursuant to
     paragraphs 6 and 13 to 16 of Security Council                 Mr. Baali (Algeria) (spoke in French): Algeria
     resolution 1556 (2004) (S/2004/703)                     has been following attentively, and with profound
                                                             concern, developments in the situation in Darfur and in
      The President (spoke in Spanish): I should like
                                                             its impact on the civilian population, which faces an
to inform the Council that I have received a letter from
                                                             unprecedented humanitarian crisis. We have followed
the representative of the Sudan, in which he requests to
                                                             those developments all the more attentively and with
be invited to participate in the discussion of the item on
                                                             all the more concern because the tragedy affects a
the Council’s agenda. In conformity with the usual
                                                             country and populations that are bound to my country
practice, I propose, with the consent of the Council, to
                                                             and my people by exceptionally strong fraternal
invite that representative to participate in the
                                                             relations. The unspeakable, tragic suffering daily
discussion, without the right to vote, in accordance
                                                             experienced by those populations powerfully demands
with the relevant provisions of the Charter and rule 37
                                                             our involvement. It is our fervent desire and our
of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure.
                                                             priority objective that this suffering should come to an
     There being no objection, it is so decided.             end as soon as possible.
     At the invitation of the President, Mr. Erwa                  Therefore — and because Algeria is active in the
     (Sudan) took a seat at the Council table.               African Union observer mission in Darfur and in the
                                                             Peace and Security Council of the African Union, of
     The President (spoke in Spanish): On behalf of
