As part of its participation in the 60th session of the UN Human Rights Council, the
Federation of Sudanese Human Rights Organizations, together with several international and
African organizations holding UN consultative status, organized an international symposium
titled \u201cAfrica at a Crossroads in Geography and International Politics.\u201d The event brought
together international experts and stakeholders focused on the human rights situation across
Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the symposium, the President of the Federation delivered a briefing on the
deteriorating human rights situation in Sudan, highlighting the scale of the humanitarian
tragedy endured by civilians. He underscored the widespread violations, crimes against
humanity, and war crimes committed by the Sudanese Armed Forces and their allied militias
and extremist groups. He urged the international community to pursue justice and criminal
accountability for all violations under international human rights and humanitarian law,
stressing the need to activate international mechanisms to refer these crimes to international
courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Federation\u2019s President also addressed the range of violations carried out by the Sudanese
army across numerous cities and regions, which have displaced more than 15 million people
inside and outside Sudan. He warned of the grave danger of allowing the Sudanese army to
use chemical weapons banned under international law, as well as aerial bombardments
against civilians, in addition to violations of fundamental rights such as health, education, and
development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In concluding his remarks, the President emphasized the importance of strengthening
international efforts and called on the United Nations to assume its responsibility in
safeguarding international peace and security. He stressed that the Sudanese people are
entitled to protection from violations, to a civilian government that ensures peace, justice, and
development, and to accountability for all crimes committed by the Sudanese army
throughout its rule, particularly during the ongoing conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
