A/HRC/6/19 page 7 extent the Government of the Sudan has undertaken recommended activities, on the basis of information provided and documentation submitted by the Government. On the other hand, the report analyses information received from the United Nations Mission in the Sudan (UNMIS), United Nations agencies and other organizations which are operational in Darfur, with a view to identifying whether and to what extent any tangible impact on the ground has been reported. This methodology permits the group to conclude, in relation to each recommendation, whether (a) it has been fully implemented (i.e., all recommended activities have been carried out and, as a result, the situation on the ground has improved accordingly); (b) significant activities have been undertaken and a tangible impact has been reported; (c) activities have been undertaken but little or no practical impact has been reported; (d) initial steps towards implementation have been taken; or (e) there has been no implementation at all. While the present report summarizes the findings of the group of experts, annex I sets out in detail information received from the Government and other sources as well as the group’s assessment for each of the recommendations contained in its first report to the Council. 11. The group of experts first describes the activities it has undertaken since its interim report and then summarizes its findings as to the current status of implementation of each of the four main clusters of recommendations identified in its first report, namely (a) human rights protection; (b) humanitarian access, including protection of humanitarian workers from harassment and attacks, and facilitating access to civilians, including those displaced; (c) accountability and justice; and (d) monitoring of implementation of recommendations. The report ends with the group’s main conclusions and recommendations. III. ACTIVITIES 12. The group of experts’ earlier activities were described in its first report to the Council (A/HRC/5/6) and in its interim report (A/HRC/6/7). The interim report set out the details of the consultations the group conducted with the African Union and its human rights mechanisms. Since then, the group’s rapporteur has consulted with the African Union Commissioner for Political Affairs, Julia Dolly Joyner, and the African Union Commissioner for Peace and Security, Said Djinnit. 13. Since the presentation of its interim report, the group has contacted the human rights component of the United Nations Mission in the Sudan to gather information from concerned United Nations agencies, bodies and programmes operational in Darfur. The present report reflects the information received from these sources. Moreover, on 25 October 2007, in New York, the group met representatives of United Nations agencies, bodies and programmes and non-governmental organizations concerned with the human rights and humanitarian situation in Darfur, to obtain information that would allow a more accurate assessment of the current level of implementation of the recommendations made by the group. The group sought to ensure as far as possible that the extensive information received from those sources was based on their first-hand observation, careful verification and, wherever appropriate, inter-agency corroboration. 14. On 9 October 2007, following a request from the Permanent Mission of the Sudan for further clarification on the information sought by the group, the group sent a set of specific questions to assist the Government of the Sudan to respond as fully as possible on the current
