On 3 July 2026, the Human Rights Council held an urgent debate to discuss the situation in and around El Obeid, North Kordofan in the context of the ongoing conflict in the Sudan. Sudanese activist Noon Kashkoush delivered a joint statement on behalf of ISHR and other groups.
The International Service for Human Rights welcomes this urgent debate and calls on the Human Rights Council to step up efforts to protect civilians, ensure access to humanitarian aid, monitor and document violations with a view to both prevention and accountability, and pressure the warring parties to respect international humanitarian and human rights law.
