A PNL hamarosan tárgyalni fog az RMDSZ-szel a Ponta-kormány ellen előkészített bizalmatlansági indítványáról

Erdély FM (Románia/Erdély) - Mon, 25/05/2015 - 07:54

Alina Gorghiu, a PNL társelnöke tegnap azt mondta, azt várja, hogy az RMDSZ ellenzéki pártként támogassa a kezdeményezésüket, de amennyiben a szövetség vezetői úgy gondolják, hogy a választójog nem egy fontos kérdés, akkor sértve érzi magát. A Nemzeti Liberális Párt a szombaton tartott kongresszusán jelentette be, hogy június 5-én bizalmatlansági indítványt nyújt be a kormány ellen a levélben történő szavazás bevezetésének halogatása miatt. A PNL időhúzással vádolja a PSD-t a választási reformcsomag kidolgozásában, és azt állítja, hogy a szociáldemokraták nem akarnak olyan törvénymódosítást végrehajtani, amely lehetővé tenné, hogy a külföldön dolgozó mintegy 3 millió román állampolgár is megfelelő parlamenti képviselethez jusson a jövő évi parlamenti választásokon.

Rights body advocates for citizens participation in transitional justice

Sudan Tribune - Mon, 25/05/2015 - 07:27

May 24, 2015 (KAMPALA) - The South Sudan Human Right Society of Advocacy (SSHURSA) has embarked on educating the various youths and women who fled or have crossed in neighboring Uganda about issue of transitional justice on post-conflicts in South Sudan.

Coalition of civil society members attending the pre-convention workshop organized by Justice Africa in Juba, April 19, 2011 (ST)

SSHURSA's executive director Biel Boutros Biel told Sudan Tribune their organisation was doing what it could to create awareness among the internally displaced and refugees who left their homes due to conflict on justice issues.

“By these few people coming together they could be able to get the knowledge's and skills and understanding basic principle of transitional justice, and they will be able to spread the message within their communities,” said Biel.

He argued that bringing together South Sudanese was a good idea as solutions are being sought on whether to opt for persecution or take people to face court or a truth and reconciliation commission.

“Although there is violent on the civil war in South Sudan, we believed that one time, one day peace, will come to South Sudan and South Sudanese will remain being South Sudanese a country for all the citizens of South Sudan whereby there is need, therefore it high time that people are brought together and discuss this issue in advance,” stressed the official.

PARTICIPANTS SPEAK OUT

Tap Guek, one of participants at the workshop, said most South Sudanese were not aware of what was inside the constitution. He equally admitted not knowing the different kinds of court systems.

“Today I can now differentiate between the supreme court and the judge and some articles right in the transitional constitution of South Sudan,” Guek told Sudan Tribune at the workshop in Kampala.

Martha Nyawuora, another participant, said women in South Sudan lacked knowledge on their rights as stipulated in the constitution.

“I have learned so many things about the rights of women, of which I never came across. Not only women rights, but the constitution is about one man, which is very dangerous,” she said.

“I feel like in case of any adjustment in the current constitution, there is need for inclusiveness,” Nyawuora added.

SSHURSA is one of the human rights entities in South Sudan, which who is calling upon the warring parties in the country to think about their citizens, occasionally warning that their self-interest will likely worsen the lives of innocent civilians in the world's youngest nation.

Biel says citizens must be respected because, without them, there would never be a constitution. He stressed that the peoples' will must be recognised in the transitional constitution of South Sudan.

The rights body, as part of its recommendation, called on parties to work together in identifying the root causes, accountability on those who took law into their hands, formation of transitional government of national unity (TGNU), compensation of lives and properties destroyed in order to achieve a national reconciliation of healing.

Sudanese cabinet to hold its last meeting before Bashir's oath ceremony

Sudan Tribune - Mon, 25/05/2015 - 06:58

May 24, 2015 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese cabinet on Thursday will hold its final meeting on Thursday to mark the end of its term before president Omer Hassan al-Bashir's swearing in ceremony in early June.

Sudan Tribune has learned that senior government figures received formal invitations to attend the meeting which was postponed from its original date of May 25th.

Bashir is expected to address the ministers and thank them for their efforts in the past period before taking a full photo of the cabinet.

In a related issue, it is expected that the Council of States and the National assembly would hold separate meetings in which its members will take the oath office and new speakers will be elected.

Some reports said that former parliament speaker Ahmed Ibrahim al-Tahir is the likely candidate to preside over the Council of States while former Vice president Ali Osman Taha could become the speaker of the parliament.

The ruling National Congress Party (NCP) will hold a meeting on Wednesday with the issue of the new cabinet topping the agenda.

However, it is not clear if the decisions will be made at that meeting.

Bashir could issue a decree delegating the Undersecretaries to run their ministries until a new cabinet is sworn in.

Besides the NCP, the cabinet will include other pro-government parties such as the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and the Darfuri Liberation and Justice Movement (LJM).

Bashir and the NCP secured a landslide victory in the elections held last April that were shunned by most major opposition parties and discredited by the United States and European Union (EU).

It was also marked by very low turnout that was attributed to apathy of Sudanese voters.
