During this year of violence. the Sudanese Government conducted only one single successful prosecution of a rapist. a man who was convicted of assaulting an 11yearold girl. It is unclear how many violations have been prosecuted. The report from the State Department also describes how the Sudanese Government systematically restricts humanitarian access to Darfur. The Government denies and delays visas and harasses and arrests humanitarian workers. This is all part of an effort to cut off the food and medicine humanitarian groups are bringing into Darfur. The mere presence of international aid workers helps safeguard people in the camps as well.
