NGO letter to the UN Human Rights Council on Sudan

Five years on, the conflicts between Sudan and armed opposition on South Kordofan and Blue Nile continues to have a devastating impact on civilians, with Sudanese forces continuing to attack villages, bomb civilian areas indiscriminately, and block humanitarian aid from accessing affected areas. REDRESS, alongside 32 NGOs and experts, has called on the UN Human Rights Council to support the adoption of a strong resolution on Sudan at its 33rd session in September, including the instatement of a Special Rapporteur to monitor and report on ongoing human rights violations in this conflict. REDRESS also urges Sudan to implement the recommendations made to it by the UN Human Rights Council in 2016.
