On 24 March 2021 the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) adopted Resolution 46/29 on technical assistance and capacity building in South Sudan. The HRC requested the High Commissioner for Human Rights to provide technical assistance to the Government by monitoring and reporting on the situation of human rights and providing guidance on transitional justice, including accountability, reconciliation and healing. The HRC further requested the High Commissioner present an oral update to the HRC at its 48^th session during an enhanced interactive dialogue, and to present a comprehensive written report to the HRC at its 49^th session. The resolution recalled “that the Government of South Sudan has the responsibility to protect its populations from crimes against humanity.”
