Human security in Sudan : the report of a Canadian assessment mission / prepared by John Harker. : E2-198/2000E-PDF
Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy has frequently spoken out against the impact of the civil war in Sudan on human security in that country, and he strongly reiterated his concerns regarding the conflict and the human rights situation during a meeting with the Sudanese Minister of Foreign Affairs in New York in September 1999. The two ministers also discussed the role of the oil sector in Sudan. An Assessment Mission was agreed on, mandated to: a) independently investigate human rights violations, specifically in reference to allegations of slavery and slavery-like practices in Sudan, and b) to investigate and report on the alleged link between oil development and human rights violations, particularly in respect of the forced removal of population around the oilfields and oil related development.--Page 1
