Progress made by SPLA in releasing children recruited or used during conflict, but there is still need for engagement with other armed groups to ensure compliance with peace agreement ("Report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in the Sudan [S/2007/520]") [ID 21330]

"During the reporting period, Southern Sudan and three areas (Abyei, Blue Nile State and Southern Kordofan/Nuba Mountains) continued to witness some progress in the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of January 2005.

Significant progress was made by the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) in releasing children recruited or used during the conflict, but there is still a need for engagement with other armed groups affiliated with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and monitoring the SAF and Popular Defence Forces (PDF) to ensure compliance with the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and other international obligations."

Long-awaited peace agreement between the Sudanese government and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) signed on January 9, 2005 ("World Report 2006") [#42306],  [ID 15614]

"A long-awaited peace agreement, the result of almost three years of negotiations, was signed between the Sudanese government and the southern-based Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) on January 9, 2005, allowing autonomy for the southern region for six and a half years, followed by a referendum on self-determination for the south. The agreement also provided for elections at national, regional, state and local levels after four years. It also provided that half the government revenues of oil produced in southern Sudan be allocated to the southern regional government. The north-south peace agreement, however, had major human rights defects, including the absence of any mechanism to ensure accountability for abuses committed during the twenty-one year war waged mostly in southern Sudan."
