Nous exhortons
@presi_doumbouya à prendre les mesures suivantes, non seulement pour les victimes de 2009, mais aussi pour tous les Guinéen·ne·s qui, à la suite du verdict de juillet 2024, ont retrouvé une lueur d'espoir pour une justice crédible et équitable :

2 jours avant la grâce, le président guinéen a publié décret pour indemniser les victimes des crimes de 2009. Bien qu'accueilli favorablement, ce décret se limite à 334 victimes, conformément à la décision de justice, privant ainsi centaines d'autres de leur droit à réparation.

Malgré la lutte acharnée menée par les victimes & ONGpour obtenir justice, @presi_doumbouya a gracié Dadis Camara en mars et l'a libéré de prison. Cette grâce a surpris la Guinée et a été rapidement critiquée par
@UNHumanRights et d'autres, notamment @hrw.org.

L'appel dans cette affaire est tjrs en instance, tttes les parties y compris Camara ayant interjeté appel.
@presi_doumbouya
devrait exprimer clairemt son engagement à permettre aux autorités judiciaires d'avancer de manière indépendante et rapide dans le processus d'appel.

Ce verdict historique, qui a notamment condamné Dadis Camara, en tant que commandant en chef responsable des crimes de 2009, à 20 ans de prison, a été salué par de nombreux Guinéen·ne·s et partenaires internationaux de la Guinée comme une forme de justice.

We urge President Doumbouya to take the following action, not only for the victims and survivors of the 2009 crimes, but to all Guineans who following the July 2024 verdict regained a glimmer of hope for a more promising Guinea that honors a credible and fair justice:

Two days before the pardon, Guinean president passed a decree to compensate the victims of 2009 crimes. It was welcomed by many, albeit limited to 334 victims per the court order, excluding 100s of other victims from benefiting from their right to redress.

Despite a relentless fight for justice by the victims and CSOs, President Doumbouya pardoned Dadis Camara in March and released him from prison. The pardon came as a surprise in Guinea and was swiftly criticized by the UN and others, including @hrw.org.

One year on, the appeal in this landmark case remains pending--all parties have lodged appeals, including Camara. President Doumbouya should express his clear commitment to enable Guinean judicial authorities moving forward independently and expeditiously with the appeals process.

The historic verdict—including the conviction of Dadis Camara as the commander in chief who oversaw the 2009 crimes and his sentence to 20 years in prison—was hailed by many Guineans and international partners of Guinea of at least some measure of justice.

What can governments do to show up for survivors of the worst crimes?

👉Insist on the global rule-of-law, not a world of might makes right
👉 Step up all support for justice efforts worldwide
👉 Reject double standards + abide by their legal obligations
👉 Protect civic space

In spite of the odds, victims and survivors, activists, communities keep showing up to demand justice.

They do so at high personal cost, because #JusticeMatters. Hope lies in their courage and fortitude.

On #July17 and every day they need governments to show up for them.

Justice for the worst crimes is never easy. But the rules-based international order that helps deliver justice and protect human rights seems more at risk than ever:

➡️US #ICC sanctions
➡️Ignoring court decisions (ICC arrest warrants/#ICJ orders)
➡️💰cuts threatening civic space

➡️Back the ICC Office of the Prosecutor’s renewed focus on Darfur and urge cooperation with its investigations & in relation to arrests of individuals wanted by the court
➡️Push for a comprehensive justice strategy for atrocity crimes committed across Sudan

At the briefing UNSC/ICC members should:

➡️Express unwavering support for the ICC & condemn threats/attacks against the court, its officials, and those cooperating with it
➡️Commit to ensuring that the ICC has adequate resources to fulfil its mandate in Darfur & across its docket

2️⃣On July 10, the #ICC Deputy Prosecutor will brief the UN Security Council on the Office of the Prosecutor’s work on #Darfur.

The briefing comes as horrific atrocities continue with devastating consequences for civilians in Sudan’s Darfur: www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

8/ The commission of acts of mass killing, rape, and infliction of conditions of life that could bring about the destruction of a group, requires urgent action from all governments and international institutions to prevent the potential perpetration of genocide in #Darfur. #Sudan
