Sudan conference in Berlin: will this aid package be enough?

The UK, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and Norway have formed a coalition for the prevention of atrocities and the promotion of justice in Sudan. It should get to work immediately, stresses human rights activist Mohamed Osman in a guest column for the Frankfurther Rundschau:

“By fully supporting the International Criminal Court’s investigations into Darfur, by putting pressure on Sudan to hand over the suspects without delay, and by advocating for the extension of the Court’s jurisdiction to the whole of Sudan. … Accountability can not be treated as the final, still unwritten chapter in the Sudanese tragedy. It must come first, so that there can be an end to the tragedy at last. The lesson from the years of war, loss and destruction in Sudan is clear: if justice is delayed further, the people’s suffering will only increase.”
