ICRC organises humanitarian law seminars

    NAIROBI

    In mid-January the ICRC organized a four-day course on the law of armed conflict which brought together 31 senior officers of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) in the Bahr al-Ghazal region. At the same time some 230 members of the Sudanese government armed forces and 180 policemen attended presentations on international humanitarian law in Bentiu, in western Upper Nile state, an ICRC statement said. Two sessions were also organized in Leer and Bentiu for 760 members of the government-supported Southern Sudan Defence Forces. Similar programmes are under way in the government-held towns of Wau and Juba as well as in a number of SPLA-controlled areas.
