2. Tilt down, ceiling to human rights council chamber
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Yasmin Sooka, Chairperson, Commission on Human Rights, South Sudan:
“South Sudan stands on the brink of an all-out ethnic civil war, which quite frankly can destabilize the entire region. Wherever we visited people told us the country would dissolve into another Rwanda-like situation.”
4. Wide shot, human rights council chamber
5. SOUNDBITE (English) – Yasmin Sooka, Chairperson, Commission on Human Rights, South Sudan:

6. Med shot, delegates
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Yasmin Sooka, Chairperson, Commission on Human Rights, South Sudan:

8. Close up, South Sudan delegate
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Yasmin Sooka, Chairperson, Commission on Human Rights, South Sudan:

10. Med shot, delegates
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, High Commissioner for Human Rights, United Nations:
“Other human rights violations are widespread including arbitrary arrest, abduction, prolonged and arbitrary detention, forces displacement of civilians and infringement of the rights to freedom of movement, expression and opposition.

12. Zoom out, delegates
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Kuol Alor Kuol Arop, Ambassador, South Sudan:
“Because the government has not been given the chance to study and reply the glaring allegations contained in the statement of the distinguish members who spoke, the Republic of South Sudan as an independent and sovereign state, reserves the right to take an appropriate action it deems fit at an appropriate time.”

STORYLINE :
Members of the United Nations human rights council were warned today (14 Dec)that inter-ethnic violence in South Sudan could degenerate into a “Rwanda-like” genocide.
During an emergency session convened in Geneva, the chairperson for the commission on human rights in South Sudan, Yasmin Sooka, said that, “South Sudan stands on the brink of an all-out ethnic civil war, which quite frankly can destabilize the entire region.” She added that, “wherever we visited people told us the country would dissolve into another “Rwanda-like” situation.”
In an appeal for action by the international community, Sooka urged the international community for the immediate deployment of the 4,000-strong regional projection force for South Sudan, saying that talks about this force began in July and it’s December now “and it is not yet arrived”.
Sooka drew special attention to the ongoing sexual violence in the Protection of Civilian (POC) camps, citing a UN survey which found that 70 percent of women in the camps had been raped since the conflict erupted – the vast majority of the rapists were police and soldiers. A staggering 78 percent of displaced had been forced to watch someone else being sexually violated.
With these sort of figures, she said, “it is conceivable that the scale of sexual violence in the world’s youngest country already matches that of the Bosnian war – and yet we rarely hear about it.”
UN human rights Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein said that other human rights violations are widespread in the country and that he was “deeply concerned” about
multiple allegations at human rights deferens, journalists and civil society activists have been targeted by the security services because of their work.
