PSC/PR/COMM. (CDXLVI) Page 2 native administration to address the root causes of the conflict in Darfur and the inauguration, on 26 May 2014, in El-Fasher, of the Darfur Internal Dialogue and Consultation (DIDC) Implementation Committee. Council encourages the Parties to expedite their efforts towards addressing the outstanding issues, and calls on the international community to enhance its support to the implementation process. In this context, Council underscores the complementarity of these processes; 7. Notes that, while fighting between the Government forces and the armed movements has reduced significantly over the past months, violence continued with renewed fighting between ethnic groups over resources. Council urges for renewed efforts to address the prevailing situation and, in this respect, commends UNAMID for the initiatives taken to prevent inter-ethnic and inter-communal conflicts and facilitate their resolution when they occur; 8. Expresses deep concern at the continued human rights violations in Darfur, including the increase in sexual and gender-based violence. Council strongly condemns these violations and calls on the GoS to take appropriate measures to address this situation, notably by identifying their perpetrators and bringing them to justice. Council welcomes the capacity building support provided by UNAMID to GoS institutions and relevant civil society organizations; 9. Reiterates its earlier appeals to all armed belligerents to cease all acts of violence in Darfur and recommit themselves to the peaceful resolution of the conflict in that region. In this respect, Council calls on the holdout armed movements to join the peace process on the basis of the DDPD, welcomes the consultations undertaken by the AU Commissioner for Peace and Security and the JCM with the Qatari authorities, in Doha, on 5 May 2014, and reiterates its support to the continued engagement of the JCM with both the GoS and the holdout armed movements. Council looks forward to the holding of the envisaged meeting, in Addis Ababa, between the GoS and the armed movements, as part of the process of confidence-building and ensuring inclusivity of all parties for national reconciliation; 10. Stresses the need for the efforts to address the Darfur crisis to be part of the holistic approach to the challenges of peace, governance and democracy in Sudan, and that the national initiative for dialogue, announced by President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir, in January 2014, provides a unique opportunity that the GoS and all other stakeholders should seize in order to advance peace and reconciliation in Sudan, taking into account Decision Assembly/AU/Dec.501 (XXII), by which the Assembly declared 2014-2024 as the Madiba Nelson Mandela Decade of Reconciliation in Africa. Council further welcomes the coordination between the AUHIP and the JCM, and reiterates its call to all parties to create a conducive environment for the success of the initiative; 11. Expresses concern at the prevailing humanitarian situation in Darfur, including the increase in the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs), and appeals for renewed efforts to address the challenges at hand, including mobilization of additional resources and capacities.
