<p>The UK has raised concerns about the Sudan National Security Act of 2010 on a number
of occasions, especially on issues of accountability and provisions that offer National
Intelligence and Security Service officers immunity from prosecution. As part of Sudan's
Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights at the Human Rights Council in May 2016,
the UK called for reforms to ensure adherence to International standards. The 2017
Foreign and Commonwealth Office Human Rights Report further urged Sudan to implement
its Universal Periodic Review recommendations regarding reform of the act, to ensure
that the national intelligence and security services conformed to international human
rights standards, and urged full accountability for all human rights violations. We
continue to raise these concerns with the Government of Sudan.</p>
