The report documents recurring patterns of violations, including the targeting of civilians and infrastructure, arbitrary arrests and detentions, as well as grave violations against children, including killing, widespread displacement, and recruitment during the period of April, May, and June 2026.

On 17 July, the world marks International Justice Day, commemorating the adoption of the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the International Criminal Court. For most countries, it's a date for polite commemoration, but for Sudan, it is closer to an indictment. Since 1955, the country has gone from one war to the next with a consistency that stops looking like bad luck and starts looking like a pattern.

This report documents a severe humanitarian and health crisis in Sudan during June 2026, resulting from the ongoing armed conflict and widespread violations in several states, particularly Darfur, Kordofan, Blue Nile, and White Nile.

The security situation in North Kordofan State deteriorated significantly throughout June 2026 as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) intensified military operations aimed at advancing toward El Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan State.

RWCHR, alongside ACJPS and a broad coalition of legal, investigative, and civil society organizations, referred high-level foreign officials to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for aiding and abetting atrocity crimes in Darfur, Sudan, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.

The situation in and around El Obeid, North Kordofan, which after 18 months of siege-like conditions appears at risk of an imminent ground offensive by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allied forces.

The recent decision by Sudanese authorities to review and potentially reduce the public sector workforce raises profound legal, economic, and human rights concerns, particularly in the context of the ongoing armed conflict and humanitarian crisis in Sudan.

The conflict has demonstrated the dangers of militarization, parallel armed structures, and the exploitation of social and political divisions, while civilians continue to bear the heaviest costs.

Enforced disappearance in Sudan occurs across diverse settings rather than in a single environment or fixed circumstances. It manifests in various contexts that differ in violence levels, the nature of involved actors, and the scope of targeting. Analyzing documented cases and testimonies reveals that understanding this phenomenon requires a dual perspective.

This report documents the human rights and humanitarian situation in Sudan during May 2026, amidst ongoing armed conflict and widespread deterioration in protection and basic services.

In South Darfur State, longstanding tensions between the Bani Halba and Salamat communities have repeatedly erupted into violence over land ownership, access to resources, and displacement-related grievances. Previous clashes between the two communities in September 2023 resulted in deaths, displacement, and the occupation of agricultural lands, leaving underlying disputes unresolved despite mediation efforts.

According to information collected by ACJPS from internally displaced persons (IDPs) residing in Tawila camp, women and girls reported incidents in which individuals working for humanitarian organizations allegedly attempted to exploit their positions by demanding sexual favours in exchange for humanitarian assistance, registration for aid programmes, employment opportunities, or supervisory roles within camp structures.
