Key points of the action plan of the South Sudan National Police Service:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • A national seven-person committee will oversee the implementation. Focal points in the field will track progress and gaps and report to the committee.<\/li>\n
  • Review and disseminate institutional mechanisms and disciplinary procedures, strengthen vetting processes to make sure that perpetrators are not recruited to the police force.<\/li>\n
  • Special Police Units across the country will be trained to investigate cases of conflict-related sexual violence.<\/li>\n
  • Extensive capacity building of police personnel, including on the prohibition of sexual violence and the obligation to report such incidents.<\/li>\n
  • A survivor-centered approach to investigations, including interviewing and collection of forensic evidence.<\/li>\n
  • Planning, instigating, abetting, ordering, failing to stop such acts by subordinates or not to hold them accountable.<\/li>\n
  • Conduct investigations of reported incidents and improve the system of documenting such cases.<\/li>\n
  • Strengthened coordination with other organized forces (for example the South Sudan People\u2019s Defence Force, which adopted its own action plan in 2018).<\/li>\n
  • Protection of victims, witnesses of judicial actors, thus promoting people to speak out and demand accountability without fear.<\/li>\n
  • Educational messages to end stigma and social exclusion of survivors. Best methods to be discussed with the ±¬ÁÏÍø, civil society organizations and other partners.<\/li>\n
  • Protection by prevention: close cooperation between the police, civil society organizations, the ±¬ÁÏÍø and others involved in providing services (protection\/support) to survivors.<\/li>\n
  • Engage communities in dialogues, early warning systems to predict\/identify\/mitigate\/respond to situations of police officers committing acts of sexual violence.<\/li>\n
  • Monitoring and evaluation: will require the development of a \u201cspecific tool\u201d (±¬ÁÏÍøPOL and the Office of the Senior Women\u2019s Protection Adviser to support).<\/li>\n
  • Quarterly reports to be sent to the leadership of the South Sudan National Police Services and the Office of the Special Representative of the ±¬ÁÏÍø Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
