HRC 58 Written Statement : Tunisia’s Human Rights Crisis
The statement documents state-sponsored persecution, particularly targeting political opposition and sub-Saharan migrants. According to Human Rights Watch’s World Report 2025, over 80 individuals were detained on political grounds by November 2024, including political opponents, activists, lawyers, journalists, and human rights defenders. The electoral process has been severely compromised, with 14 out of 17 presidential candidates either arrested or disqualified, leaving only three candidates—including Saïed himself—approved by the increasingly controlled Independent High Authority for Elections. UN Special Rapporteur Mary Lawlor has condemned these actions, describing the detentions as “a grave violation of international human rights conventions,” and urging Tunisian authorities to create a safe environment for legitimate human rights work.

HRC 58 Sudan Crisis: Calls for Immediate Humanitarian Action
On 27 February 2025, during the 58th UN Human Rights Council, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk, in his statement to the Enhanced Interactive Dialogue on Sudan, stressed “the seriousness of the situation in Sudan; the desperate plight of the Sudanese people; and the urgency with which we must act to ease their suffering”. He called for immediate international action to push for a ceasefire, ensure humanitarian access, and enforce the arms embargo to protect civilians. The High Commissioner also warned that the “continued supply of weapons from outside the country – including new and more advanced arms – also poses a serious risk”.
HRC 58 oral Statement Item 2 Sudan
The UN fact-finding mission on Sudan has documented extensive killings, torture, rape and sexual violence.
The majority of victims are civilians, with over 10 million displaced and the humanitarian crisis worsening by the day. In January 2024, a UN panel of experts reported ‘credible’ allegations that the UAE had supplied military equipment. The supply of arms, ammunition, and military materials to the RSF by foreign states must cease.
The international community cannot turn a blind eye. UN Member States must act urgently to protect civilians, address the humanitarian crisis, and contribute to ending the fighting in Sudan.
