HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION. Various rights were acknowledged in the Protocol, and it was agreed to establish a Human Rights Commission. Such formulae typically appear in all modern constitutions, irrespective of whether the state respects them or not. While human rights abuses in the South since the signing of the agreement appear to have declined and the placement of the international monitors on the ground, in territories under the control of GoS and SPLM/A such abuses continued without interruption throughout the period of negotiations. It seems the IGAD‟s mediators feared human rights were a manifold that would complicate negotiations, and reached a tacit understanding to avoid the subject. This was made easier by the absence of civil society organizations from the negotiations. As a result, the possibility of ordinary Sudanese to bring human rights abuses to light and to hold guilty parties accountable was not considered. IGAD‟s handover of a monopoly of power to the GoS and SPLM/A did not create an environment conducive to the protection of human rights in any parts of the country.171 This Protocol failed to consider how the rights it so readily granted can be implemented. No details were provided on the mandate of the Human Rights Commission, when it was to be established, who were to serve on it and whether there was to be any role for civil society.172
