My Lords, does the Minister agree with Amnesty International that the atrocities committed by the Sudanese armed forces in South Kordofan, including deliberate attacks on civilians, hospitals, schools and NGOs, constitute war crimes for which the leaders of the junta should be indicted? Could we propose to the UN Security Council that a task force be appointed to collect the evidence that would allow such prosecutions to be made at the International Criminal Court against any of the criminals who might stray into the jurisdiction of countries that believed in the rule of law?

My Lords, the noble Lord raises the terrible issues in Darfur, including two areas where nearly 5.5 million Sudanese remain in need of humanitarian aid. He mentions the ICC, which I know is keeping a very close watch on this issue, but the UN has also extended the use of UNAMID, which is operating in extremely difficult and challenging environments and is basically there for the protection of civilians.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what consideration they have given to imposing sanctions on Saudi Arabian ministers responsible for legislation providing for sentences of cruel and unusual punishments, particularly for acts permitted under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Currently there are no sanctions in place for Saudi Arabia and we have not considered imposing them on Saudi Arabia.
The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, my right hon. Friend the Member for Epsom and Ewell (Mr Grayling), and the Saudi Minister of Justice, Dr Al Issa, recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding which will further help us to support Saudi Arabia’s reform efforts in the judicial sector.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps, if any, they will propose should be taken by the United Nations Security Council to monitor effectively the prohibition of all offensive military flights over Darfur as provided by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1591.[HL2340]
Monitoring and enforcement of United Nations Security Council resolution 1591 is the responsibility of the Council’s Sanctions Committee on Sudan, assisted by its Panel of Experts. We are active members of the committee, and meet regularly with the Panel of Experts and support their work to ensure that they are able to monitor implementation of the resolution as far as possible. The Panel undertakes investigations in Darfur, and gathers information from UN and other sources to determine whether violations of the sanctions have taken place. While it is unable to document every instance of an offensive overflight, the Panel’s reports present their best assessment of the overall level of such activity in Darfur.
