As the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk stated “The continued and deliberate attacks on civilians and civilian objects, as well as summary executions, sexual violence, and other violations and abuses, underscore the utter failure by both parties to respect the rules and principles of international humanitarian and human rights law”.

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”.

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.
