The statement<br>stressed that these crimes have resulted in the near-total collapse of the rule of law and the<br>complete absence of civilian protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The statement underscored that since the outbreak of the armed conflict in April 2023, Sudan<br>has witnessed the systematic dismantling of law enforcement institutions and civil<br>administration. This vacuum has turned the civilian space into a theatre of atrocities<br>amounting to widespread and systematic violations of human rights, war crimes, and crimes<br>against humanity. It further highlighted that the military government in Port Sudan has not<br>only failed to prevent these crimes but has also failed to hold perpetrators accountable or<br>provide support to victims\u2014entrenching a climate of impunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Credible field reports and testimonies confirmed a pattern of atrocities committed by the<br>Sudanese Armed Forces and allied groups over the past two years, including:<br>\uf0b7 Mass extrajudicial killings targeting civilians in markets, homes, and displacement<br>camps.<br>\uf0b7 Indiscriminate shelling and aerial bombardment of residential neighborhoods.<br>\uf0b7 Systematic sexual violence against women and girls, especially in Darfur and South<br>Kordofan.<br>\uf0b7 Forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians and deliberate<br>destruction of humanitarian and medical infrastructure.<br>\uf0b7 Arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearances, including illegal transfers of<br>detainees.<br>\uf0b7 Sieges on towns and villages, coupled with obstruction of humanitarian assistance,<br>causing famine-like conditions.<br>The coalition emphasized that these crimes not only represent a severe humanitarian tragedy<br>but also reveal a profound collapse in Sudan\u2019s capacity, under its military leadership in Port<br>Sudan, to meet its international obligations.<br>The statement called on the Council to take urgent action, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dispatching immediate technical missions to Sudan and neighboring refugee-hosting<br>states.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Providing robust technical support to Sudanese civil society and legal institutions to<br>strengthen independence and capacity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collaborating with independent civil actors to set priorities for capacity-building,<br>avoiding reliance on authorities complicit in violations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Establishing an international roadmap for rebuilding Sudan\u2019s human rights<br>institutions and judiciary under UN supervision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expanding monitoring and documentation mechanisms and training local actors to<br>preserve evidence and enable accountability.<br>In conclusion, the coalition warned that Sudan is facing one of the world\u2019s most severe<br>human rights and humanitarian crises. Continued international silence, it stressed, will cost<br>countless more lives and deepen the catastrophe. The statement urged the Council to act<br>decisively to end the conflict, pave the way for a civilian government, and ensure justice,<br>peace, and dignity for the Sudanese people.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geneva \u2013 Human Rights Council, 30 September 2025During the 60th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, the Coalition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aopdj.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aopdj.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aopdj.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aopdj.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aopdj.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16424"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aopdj.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16424\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16425,"href":"https:\/\/aopdj.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16424\/revisions\/16425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aopdj.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aopdj.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aopdj.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
