SAD.1098/7-10

Correspondence and witness statements relating to the Abyei Boundary Commission. The Abyei Boundary Commission was established after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, between the Government of Sudan in the north and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/ Army in the south, to “define and demarcate the area of the nine Dinka Chiefdoms transferred to Kordofan in 1905”. The Commission included experts and representatives of the local communities and the local administration. When the Commission set the boundary lines in 2005 the Sudan People's LIberation Movement/ Army refused to accept them. The case was taken to the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague in 2008 for settlement. The court delivered its final verdict in July 2009
