           and at confrontations between the Government of Sudan and the armed groups,

           aerial bombardment by the Government of Sudan, inter-tribal fighting, banditry and
           criminality continue to threaten civilians, and that attacks on humanitarian personnel
           and peacekeepers continue to restrict humanitarian access to conflict areas where
           vulnerable civilian populations reside, acknowledging the efforts of Sudanese
           authorities to mediate in inter-tribal fighting, and urging their continued work,
           calling on all parties to cease hostilities, including all acts of violence committed
           against civilians, and urgently facilitate unhindered humanitarian access in accordance
           with international law, including applicable international humanitarian law, and the

           the internally displaced in Darfur as well as for new refugees in neighbouring
           countries and Chadians who have fled Darfur, and at the situation of refugees and
           IDPs unable to reach camps, and therefore vulnerable to ongoing violence or lacking
           humanitarian assistance, stressing the importance of continued international support
           to address these needs, recognizing that some displaced will settle permanently in
           urban areas, but underlining the need to ensure security in areas of return,

           African Union-United Nations Special Representative for Darfur and Head of
           UNAMID, and welcoming the appointment of Dr. Mohamed Ibn Chambas,

               13 July attack that led to the death of seven United Nations peacekeepers, and other
               attacks that have killed or wounded others; underlines that any attack or threat of
               attack on UNAMID is unacceptable and notes that individuals and entities who plan,
               sponsor or participate in such attacks constitute a threat to stability in Darfur and
               may therefore meet the designation criteria provided for in paragraph 3 (c) of
               resolution 1591 (2005); demands that there be no recurrence of such attacks and that
               those responsible be held to account following prompt and thorough investigation,

               United Nations personnel and equipment; condemns the ongoing impunity for those
               who attack peacekeepers, and in this regard urges the Government of Sudan to do its
               utmost to bring all perpetrators of any such crimes to justice and to cooperate with
               UNAMID in this regard, and further urges relevant parties to cooperate with the
               Panel of Experts appointed by the Secretary-General pursuant to paragraph 3 (b) of
               resolution 1591 (2005) and extended by subsequent resolutions;
                     12. Commends the credible work of the Tripartite Mechanism but expresses
               deep concern at increased restrictions and bureaucratic impediments placed by the

               areas of recent conflict; calls on all parties in Darfur to remove all obstacles to
               UNAMID’s full and proper discharge of its mandate, including by ensuring its
               security and freedom of movement; and in this regard, demands that the Government
               of Sudan comply with the Status of Forces Agreement fully and without delay,
               particularly regarding the movement of patrols, flight and equipment clearances, the
               removal of all obstacles to the use of UNAMID aerial assets, and the timely provision
               of visas for UNAMID personnel and processing of its equipment at the port of entry
               to Sudan; welcomes that, in the latest rotation cycle, equipment clearances were
               given in a more timely manner, but expresses concern that other delays continue;
               welcomes some progress made in the provision of such visas, but deplores continued
               delays, which threaten seriously to undermine the ability of the mission to

                 14. Requests the Secretary-General to continue reporting to the Council
           every 90 days on progress in the implementation of UNAMID’s mandate, including

           well as on progress on the political track, the security and humanitarian situation,
           including in the IDP sites and refugee camps, the actions of all parties with respect
           to the provisions of this resolution, human rights, violations of international
           humanitarian and human rights law, early recovery and on all restrictions and
           bureaucratic impediments to UNAMID’s freedom of movement; welcomes the
           updated benchmarks and indicators for UNAMID submitted by the Secretary-General, after consultation with the African Union, in his report of 16 October 2012
           (S/2012/771), and the inclusion in his regular reports to the Council every 90 days
           thereafter of an assessment of progress towards and obstacles to the achievement of
           these benchmarks, which help the Council to assess progress made by UNAMID in
           implementing its mandate, as well as the cooperation of the Government of Sudan

           that humanitarian organizations are able to deliver aid to most people in need of

           conflict-affected areas remains constrained, deplores the increased restrictions on
           humanitarian access in Darfur resulting from increased insecurity, attacks against
           humanitarian workers, denial of access by the parties to the conflict and bureaucratic
           impediments imposed by the Government of Sudan, notes the publication of the
           Government of Sudan’s Directives for Humanitarian Work 2013, regarding
           cooperation with the humanitarian community on facilitation of humanitarian access

               for serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, by
               whomsoever perpetrated, and emphasizes the importance of UNAMID acting to
               promote human rights, bringing abuses and violations to the attention of the
               authorities and requests the Secretary-General to provide reporting on all the human
               rights issues identified in this resolution in his regular reports to the Security

               persons, or their local integration; expresses deep concern at the significant
               worsening of insecurity and increase in displacements this year and the resulting

               IDPs and refugees remain displaced, stresses the importance of the Joint Verification
               Mechanism in verifying the extent to which these returns are voluntary and
               informed in nature and expresses deep concern over some bureaucratic obstacles

           the relevant provisions of resolutions 1325 (2000), and associated resolutions on
           women, peace and security, are implemented by UNAMID, including supporting the
           participation of women during all stages of peace processes, particularly in conflict
           resolution, post-conflict planning and peacebuilding, including women’s civil
           society organizations, and through the appointment of gender advisers, and to
