other parts of central Sudan. This kind of act contradicts the freedom of travel and movement, (Banjul)23 and the article (12) International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights 1966.24 Conclusion The evidence collected by field monitors demonstrates that the ongoing non-international armed conflict in Sudan since 15th April 2023 has been marked by serious violations of international humanitarian law, international human rights law, the Sudanese Constitutional Document, and other agreements related to the protection and dignity of human beings, including the international Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. These violations have also been reported by the two fact finding missions (AU & UN). The conduct of both SAF and RSF, and their allied militias, fails to meet the minimum standards required under the Fourth Geneva Convention and Additional Protocol II. The deliberate targeting of civilians, indiscriminate attacks, and obstruction of humanitarian assistance constitute grave breaches of international humanitarian law and Jeddah Agreement25 on the cessation of hostilities and the opening of safe humanitarian corridors. These violations were compounded by patterns of racial discrimination, ethnic targeting, and mass displacement, including the use of the ‘strange faces order’ to arrest, harass, or target internally displaced persons based on appearance, and ethnic origin. Such practices violate fundamental rights, including the rights to life, liberty, security, equality, and freedom of movement, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the Bill of Rights in the Sudanese Constitutional Document. The RSF and their allied militias have committed atrocities which may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, including sexual violence, persecution on ethnic grounds, and attacks against the Masalit community in West Darfur and other parts of Sudan.
