Recommendation
"CSW stated, in relation to Northern Sudan, that the Sudanese Parliament, on August
2010, called for the punishment of Zina including the stoning to death of adulterers or
those accused of having extra-marital affairs, and the promotion of early marriages and
polygamy. CSW stated that flogging and Zina punishments were in violations of Article 7
of the ICCPR, and that the encouragement of early marriages could amount to a violation of
Sudan’s obligations arising from the CRC. CSW recommended that practice and
legislation that impacted on women and children reflect Sudan's obligations under
international law. [Para 30]"
