Community Empowerment for Progress Organization or CEPO Executive Director called on United Nations or UN to push for the release of the African Union or AU Commission of Inquiry on South Sudan’s crimes report for justice takes its course.
 
Edmond Yakani in statement CRN obtained strongly urged the UN to seriously push for the release of the report because its delay means denial of justice and accountability for South Sudan.
 
He called on the UN to ensure that the report should be made public in the AU Summit late January since it will demonstrate acknowledgment and recognition of human rights atrocities committed by perpetrators.
 
The Executive Director said AU head of states are well known for delaying and denying their citizens justice which always directly benefit them than citizens of member states.
 
Mr Yakani said CEPO shares the same stress of UN and the description made by Ivan Simonovic as ‘a very disturbing development’.
 
He said enforcing the law as response to the committed human rights offence is a different step, but it should not be watered down during the AU summit.
 
The Director called on AU head of states to be straightforward in recommending for immediate provision of justice and accountability.
