A hybrid court will be formed to address justice and accountability after a peace agreement is reached with the SPLM in Opposition, the Secretary-General of the SPLM has said.

Pagan Amum says the African Union and the United Nations will be represented in the court.

He says the court will try people suspected of violating human rights and committing atrocities since the conflict began in December 2013.

Mr Pagan told Eye Radio that the goal of this court will be to achieve transitional justice.

“We will work to bring back all our citizens who were forced to take refuge out of South Sudan and work toward transitional justice through forming courts with African Union and United Nations plus others as strong platform to achieve justice,” he said.

“That will build strong national reconciliation and strong national unity that is based on reparation to all our citizens.”

Mr Pagan said courts will be formed by the government of national unity that will be formed after a peace agreement.
