An observer delegation requested further information on CSI ’ s involvement with the Sudanese People ’ s Liberation Army ( SPLA ) and its affiliation with the movement , referring to a quotation from the CSI home page which might be construed as expressing CSI ’ s support of SPLA and which read as follows : “ Human rights violations have been committed by all parties to the Sudanese civil war ... In the absence of any intervention by the international community , the SPLA is the only force defending the black African communities of southern Sudan , the Nuba Mountains and in the NIF ’ s ( National Islamic Front ’ s ) war of genocide . ”
