Sudan’s Descent into Violence Must Not Be Ignored

Sudan’s experience over the past year has demonstrated how quickly a country can succumb to violence. Now that the United Nations Security Council has called for an immediate cessation of fighting and urged all parties to ensure the rapid delivery of humanitarian assistance, the international community must turn words into action.

NEW YORK – On March 8, the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Sudan during the holy month of Ramadan. It also urged all parties to the conflict to ensure the rapid and safe delivery of humanitarian assistance and to uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law, including to protect civilians.
