South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir Mayardit will early next week sign at least seven international treaty bills into law, according to a senior government official.
The bills were passed by the country’s parliament last year and were forwarded to the president for signing into law as required under the country’s transitional constitution, but the president did not attend to them.
The bills include convention on the prohibition of the development, production stockpiling biological, bill 2022, Protocol to African Charter on human and people’s rights, international convention on economics, international convention on civil and political rights, the Paris agreement, international convention on rights of persons with disability and international convention against doping in sport.
“The following seven conventions or treaties are due to be signed by President this week, the week commencing 20th February 2023,” Martin Elias Lomuro, Cabinet Minister said during a press conference held on Tuesday.
