The African Union’s African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights will release the Sudan fact-finding mission report next Tuesday. Members of the mission and Commissioners will present the report at a press conference in The Gambia, briefing the media.
The report details alleged human rights violations in Sudan since the outbreak of conflict in April 2023, the committee said. It includes testimonies, in-depth analysis, and recommendations designed to ensure accountability and strengthen protection of human rights across Sudan.
The fact-finding mission conducted extensive fieldwork over the past year, documenting evidence from victims, witnesses, and civil society representatives. Investigators communicated with Sudanese authorities and collaborated with international partners, including the UN Independent Fact-Finding Mission and OHCHR.
The African Commission adopted the report during its 84th Ordinary Session, held virtually from 21 to 30 July 2025. It provides legal analysis and policy recommendations for African Union member states and the international community, the committee added. The mission investigated arrests, suppression of freedom of expression, and denial of access to healthcare, education, housing, and livelihoods.
It also documented violations affecting cultural rights, traditional livelihoods, and the overall social fabric of Sudanese communities. Investigations revealed enforced disappearances, torture, extrajudicial killings, sexual and gender-based violence, and attacks on humanitarian workers or facilities.
The report also details destruction or seizure of property, forced displacement, and other violations that have devastated civilians throughout Sudan.
