A joint NGO letter to the UN Human Rights Council to recognize and respond to the gravity of the human rights situation in Sudan, and to ensure that it addresses the serious and widespread violations of human rights and international humanitarian law in the country under the Council’s agenda item 4 during its upcoming 27th session.
Reflections on the 59th session of the UN Human Rights Council
A relatively short session due to the UN’s liquidity crisis, the Human Rights Council’s (HRC) 59th session (HRC59) took place from 16 June to 8 July 2025. Three session days were cut, a number of debates could not be held, and a number of reports could not be delivered by the UN’s Human Rights Office (OHCHR). This is a regrettable situation.
