| Title Proper | Oversight mechanisms, regime security, and intelligence service autonomy in South Sudan |
| Language | ENG |
| Author | Adeba, Brian |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Statutory oversight mechanisms for South Sudan’s intelligence service are weak and ineffective. The weakness of these mechanisms is directly related to the sense of security that the regime experiences. Internal threats facing the regime after South Sudan’s independence have resulted in an increase in the autonomy and influence of the National Security Service to counter opposition. Democratic principles, such as independent legislative oversight and respect for human rights have become subordinate to the political survival of the regime and its leaders. |
