Before the 60th meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which began on September 8 and run until October 3, close to 100 civil society organizations from Sudan and passed a joint letter to the states to urge them to support the extension of his order. Independent International Research Shipment (FFM) for Sudan. The FFM for Sudan was founded by the UN Human Rights Council in October 2023 to investigate the supposed violations of international humanitarian law in the country and to establish events, conditions and radical causes, in the context of the continuing armed conflict between the continuity of the 15th. (SAF) and push forces (RSF). The mechanism also had to collect, consolidate and analyze proof of such violations and abuses. document and verification of relevant information and evidence; identify, where possible, individuals and entities responsible for violations or abuses of human rights or violations of international humanitarian law or other relevant crimes; create recommendations, in particular, accountable measures, among others.
As the battles broke out between the SAF and the RSF and their allied forces in April 2023, tens of thousands of citizens have been killed and over 13 million have been displaced and about 30 million people who need rescue help, making Sudan the biggest shift. As the conflict in Sudan is in the third year, Sudan is on the brink of collapse, with devastating consequences for the protection of civilians.
Three years after the conflict, the plethora of alleged human rights violations is equivalent to international crimes continues and requires international attention and comprehensive answers. These violations include, but are not limited to targeted and indisputable attacks on citizens and political objects, arbitrary detention, torture, extracted, out -of -court executions and other illegal killings, widespread sexual violence against women and women, Masalit and other communities, Airstuths, attacks on medical objects and staff, among others.
In July 2025, the Deputy Prosecutor of the International Court of Justice (ICC) Nazhat Shamem Khan told UN Security Council that the ICT had “reasonable reasons to believe” that both war crimes and crimes against humanity They were committed to Sudan. Such as anxious: “Hospitals, humanitarian escorts and other political objects are obviously targeting, starvation is escalating and humanitarian aid does not reach those in need of their need, people are deprived of lack, which people can become rape and sexual violence. To translate into evidence of the court – and, indeed, to the world – to hear.
As the joint letter underlined, “in the light of serious violations of international law committed by all parties in the conflict, including alarming rates of sexual and sexual violence (SGBV) against women and girls and continuing to do so and their continuing need to collect and consider themselves Logically, the next Sudanese Council solution must expand FFM’s mandate for at least two years.
The joint letter added: “Against this context, and despite the ongoing challenges related to the UN liquidity crisis and the continued refusal of the UN authorities to allow its members and the secretariat of access to sources, which FFMs have been able to investigate the researchers and to realize its researchers. African Union (AU) and civil society.
The joint letter, in addition to requesting the extension of the FFM order for another two years, called on the UN Human Rights Council to recommend that the General Assembly submits FFM reports to the United Nations Security Council for examination and proper action, including through the extension of the jurisdiction of the ICC.
FFM remains a critical international mechanism with the mandate, resources, know -how and experience to explore independently and to report the violations committed throughout Sudan. As Sudan’s conflict is ongoing and intense violations are still committed by all parts of the conflict, with further needs to collect and maintain evidence and identifying the perpetrators, there is no other choice for the United Nations Human Rights Council, but to extend the FFM.
As the terrible situation in Sudan continues, the states and the international community must do all this to relieve the suffering of Sudan’s people. However, efforts to support people in Sudan cannot ignore the need to ensure justice and accountability for all alleged violations. This is where FFM’s work is the key – to be substantiated, analyzed, maintained for future research and persecution whenever possible. Justice and accountability are vital, not only to ensure that those responsible for all alleged violations are responsible, but also as a means of prevention.
