Al-Burhan made the remarks during his meeting with Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, at the presidential palace in Khartoum.
Al-Burhan reiterated the keenness of the transitional government to establish the rule of law and present a model of democratic rule.
He also emphasized the government's commitment to respect international conventions, especially those relating to human rights, vowing to achieve justice in all parts of Sudan.
