As of now, over 9 million people have been displaced by the Sudanese Civil War.

 

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is the primary body responsible for maintaining international peace and security. It addresses global conflicts, imposes sanctions, authorizes peacekeeping missions, and can adopt binding resolutions under international law to ensure collective action in times of crisis. In the past 20 years, the number of developing nations involved in civil conflict has only risen, and the Sudanese Civil War represents a critical challenge to human rights in Africa. Emerging from long-standing ethnic, political, and economic tensions, the conflict has left a devastating humanitarian crisis in its wake. Sudan, located in northeastern Africa, has faced recurring instability due to disputes over resources, governance, and identity since gaining independence in 1956. The most recent conflict reignited in April 2023, involving the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF): a powerful paramilitary group. This struggle for power has paralyzed the country, leading to massive civilian casualties, widespread displacement, and a collapse of essential services.

​

Key issues in the conflict include disputes over the transition to civilian-led governance after the fall of longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir in 2019 and unresolved border and resource issues with South Sudan. The crisis has drawn in neighboring states such as Egypt and Eritrea, with concerns about regional destabilization, and refugee flows. This committee faces a multifaceted challenge: how to address the immediate humanitarian crisis, facilitate peace, and ensure accountability for violations of international law.
