Khartoum: The High Committee for Coordination with the United Nations has reiterated its commitment to providing legal support to all parties without discrimination, during a meeting chaired by Attorney General Al-Fatih Mohamed Issa Tayfour. The meeting, held on Thursday, was attended by several concerned stakeholders.
According to Sudan News Agency, the meeting featured a report on the recent visit of the United Nations Expert on the Human Rights Situation in Sudan, Radhouane Nouicer. The report was presented by Minister of Justice Dr. Abdullah Mohamed Dirif, who discussed the expert’s consultations with various official bodies regarding the repercussions of the war on Sudan, issues of voluntary return, legal provisions, human rights, and the systematic devastation of infrastructure in Sudan’s regions. The report indicated that the expert highlighted the inadequate support provided by the United Nations to Sudan due to reasons related to the international organization.
The Minister of Justice emphasized the commitment of national law enforcement bodies to offering legal support to all parties without discrimination. He noted that Sudan requested the expert on human rights to gather information from government institutions rather than activists. Sudan remains keen and open to all United Nations mechanisms to achieve justice and provide protection for refugees and displaced persons, particularly women and children. He added that the Sudanese government is fulfilling its role towards the country and its citizens, while providing necessary technical support to national institutions and organizations.
Furthermore, the National Mechanism for the Protection of Civilians, affiliated with the Ministry of Interior, submitted its 2025 periodic report on civilian protection. The report is based on international and national references aimed at protecting civilians during various conflicts. It also covered the state’s activities in protecting civilians and rehabilitating war-damaged areas, as well as the role of regular forces in providing humanitarian aid throughout the country, focusing on conflict-affected states, where the state’s contributions amounted to $4 billion.
The report explained that the mechanism enforces the rule of law, preserves human rights, protects Sudanese refugees abroad and internally displaced persons, and provides them with essential services, particularly health and medical services. It also highlighted the mechanism’s role in ensuring the success of the Sudanese Certificate examinations both inside and outside the country, enhancing the capacity of judicial and police personnel, and working to mend the social fabric, promote peaceful coexistence, and achieve reconstruction.
Meanwhile, the National Mechanism for the Protection of Civilians affirmed in its report to the meeting that it is exerting every effort to overcome various challenges to achieve its goals.
