“The committee has elected its chair and passed its operation plan in terms of reference and they are now waiting to be trained and once they are trained, they will now go out there to do a consultation in areas where the war was prevalence during 2013,” Lomuro said.

He disclosed that the commission comprised 34 members, adding that the commission will undergo training before it embarks on the critical mission.

The commission is mandated to inquire into all aspects of human rights violations, abuses, breaches, of the rule of law, and excessive abuse of power committed against all persons in South Sudan by state, and non-state actors.

“They will conduct consultation in Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs and refugees’ camps and consultations with other South Sudanese in government institutions as well as civil society, community leaders, women and youth to find exactly what they saw during that time of conflict,” he said.

He said the commission will record the experience of victims and represent its finding to the cabinet.
