Join international law experts on November 9 at 12:00 pm ET / 6:00 pm Khartoum time for an expert roundtable on the recently established independent fact-finding mission for Sudan, an international mechanism charged with investigating human rights abuses committed during the ongoing civil conflict.

Returning Sudan to Peace & Democracy Series
Civil war erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), and a rival paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on April 15, 2023. As a consequence, Sudan is teetering on the brink of becoming a failed state with hundreds killed, hundreds of thousands forced to flee the country, and millions in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. An unwillingness to adhere to even a series of temporary ceasefires has prompted the US and Saudi Arabia to suspend even those minimal efforts to bring peace back to Sudan. What happens now, and how can Sudan be returned to the path of peace? Join our Sudanese experts, many of whom were in Sudan when the conflict erupted, to discuss what can be done.
