• Other countries and the international community must apply the arms embargo; And to stop all forms of material support for the parties, to support peace efforts, and to increase humanitarian aid; And to enhance cooperation with the International Criminal Court; And to create an independent judicial mechanism; And to practice the global judicial jurisdiction; And to impose specific penalties.
• The brokers should facilitate comprehensive peace operations that perpetuate justice at their heart.
• Civil society must document violations; And support the victims; And laying the foundations for Sudan, a mosque that respects the rights.
