PUBLICATIONS #human rights violations in Sudan

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.

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.

This report documents the escalation of the conflict in Sudan and its resulting widespread human toll, with hundreds of civilians killed and injured in attacks and bombings targeting populated areas and health facilities in several states, including hospitals in Al-Daein, Al-Jabalain, and Nyala.

On the morning of 15 April 2023, the sound of gunfire shattered the ordinary rhythms of life in Khartoum. Over the past three years, civilians have not simply been caught in the crossfire; they have been systematically targeted.

Sudan enters the third anniversary of this war on 15 April under the shadow of mass civilian suffering. This moment should not be framed in terms of battlefield calculations or the rival claims of armed actors. It should be centered on the people of Sudan who have lived through bombardment, hunger, rape, displacement, detention, disappearance, and the collapse of basic protection.

The war in Sudan continues, along with the grave violations that accompany it, many of which amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. At the same time, the limited international efforts have failed to end the war or even achieve a humanitarian truce.

ACJPS received information that indicates that approximately 13,000 detainees are currently being held at Diqris prison, a detention facility located in South Darfur.
