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.

On 18 February 2025, UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk urged the Tunisian authorities to cease all forms of persecution against political opponents and to respect the rights to freedom of opinion and expression, while several UN experts have repeatedly raised concerns about the safety of sub-Saharan migrants.

Freedom of Expression, Hate Speech, and Religious Freedom: A Human Rights Perspective.
Hate speech is an ongoing problem in all societies, both online and offline. As history has shown, atrocity crimes are sparked by hate speech. A growing trend of
hatred and intolerance toward people who are perceived as different increases the potential to incite violence and severe human rights violations. Ethnic and religious
minorities, migrants, refugees, and others who are perceived as unwelcome are often targets of hate speech and discrimination.
