Sudan: Fulfilling the Responsibility to Protect

5 October 2010

Sudan stands today at a precipice. In 100 days the South will hold a referendum on self-determination with a vote for independence expected. Extensive early warnings exist indicating a real threat of the commission of mass atrocities surrounding the referendum, with those populations most at risk already identified. This threat looms while inter-tribal violence in the South is rising; conflict in Darfur persists; attacks by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in Central and Western Equatorial states continue unabated; and a return to war in the South is a possibility.

This Policy Brief from the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect analyses the risks posed to populations during the process and provides policy recommendations for preventing the commission of crimes.
