7.
Requests the Commission, in liaison with the Parties and all other stakeholders,
to take all necessary steps to facilitate the scrupulous implementation and follow-up of
the DPA, in line with the Modalities and Mechanisms contained therein;
8.
Considers that the DPA, which was the culmination of intensive deliberations
and negotiations, conducted by the AU Mediation with the support of the facilitators and
international Partners, represents a fair and comprehensive solution to the conflict in
Darfur, addresses the legitimate demands of the Movements, and meets the aspirations
of the people of Darfur. Council, therefore, is of the view that there are no legitimate
grounds for any group in Darfur to use military means to achieve its goals;
9.
Deeply regrets the failure of the SLM/A group led by Abdulwahid Al Nour and
the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) of Khalil Ibrahim to sign the DPA, despite all
the efforts made by the Mediation, African Leaders and the representatives of the AU
Partners present in Abuja during the final phase of the Peace Talks, and subsequent to
the signing of the Agreement on 5 May 2006;
10.
Urges the SLM/A group of Abdulwahid Al Nour and the JEM of Khalil Ibrahim to
sign the DPA by 31 May 2006, failing which it shall consider measures, including
sanctions, to be applied against the leadership and members of the concerned groups;
11.
Demands that all groups in Darfur immediately commit themselves to be bound
by the provisions of the DPA, in particular those relating to the Comprehensive
Ceasefire, as well as relevant previous agreements. Council stresses that any act by
any individual or group, including military acts on the ground and all other acts aimed at
undermining the DPA, shall be considered to be inimical to the interests of the people of
Darfur and an affront to the AU and the larger international community;
12.
Undertakes to review regularly, in close coordination and consultation with the
UN Security Council, the implementation of the DPA and to take strong and effective
measures against any individual or group in Darfur that violate the Ceasefire Agreement
and those who may attempt to block the implementation of the DPA, including a request
to the United Nations Security Council to impose a travel ban and assets freeze, as
provided for in resolution 1591 (2005);
13.
Stresses the urgent need to review the current mandate of AMIS and to increase
significantly its strength, particularly in light of the additional tasks to be performed by
the Mission as part of the implementation of the provisions of the DPA relating to the
Comprehensive Ceasefire and Final Security Arrangements;
14.
Requests the Chairperson of the Commission to submit to it detailed proposals
for the enhancement of AMIS in terms of additional troops and civilian police personnel,
logistics and overall capacity. In the meantime, Council invites the Chairperson of the
Commission to consult urgently with potential troop contributing countries, as well as
with AU Partners to secure the required support;
