On September 25, 2026, the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, alongside the Global Accountability Network, NRF South African Research Chair in International Law, Public International Law and Policy Group, African Center for Justice and Peace Studies, Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa, and American Society of International Law, hosted a roundtable discussion on the humanitarian response to the crisis in Sudan. Panelists highlighted the urgent challenges facing aid workers, including funding shortfalls, access restrictions, and the need for greater international support. They also emphasized the vital role of local actors, particularly Emergency Response Rooms (ERRs) and women-led organizations, in delivering life-saving assistance. As moderator Mutasim Ali noted: “We cannot continue to demand more from Sudan's humanitarians while providing them with less protection, less funding, less political support, and less international attention.” 🎥 Watch the full roundtable here: youtube.com/watch?v=qiVtdL2m… To learn more about the Sudan Roundtable Series click here: raoulwallenbergcentre.org/en… @mutasimali3 @OdetteNtambara @PILPG @AfricanCentre @Sihanet @asilorg

We are pleased to invite you to join the third roundtable on Sudan, organized by the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights (RWCHR), Global Accountability Network, NRF South African Research Chair in International Law, Public International Law and Policy Group (PILPG), African Center for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS), Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA Network), and American Society of International Law (ASIL). Together, we will examine the immediate threats facing frontline aid workers, challenges impeding aid delivery, and practical strategies to safeguard #humanitarian operations in #Sudan. This roundtable will bring together key stakeholders to confront these operational threats, identify critical protection gaps, and forge actionable strategies to safeguard aid workers on the ground. As the war in Sudan drags on through its fourth year, this expert roundtable will look at: 1. Why Sudan’s massive humanitarian crisis continues to be overlooked and underfunded globally; 2. How aid agencies can balance maintaining access to populations with reporting human rights violations; 3. What Sudan's humanitarian aid will look like without immediate, significant intervention, and what can be done. We hope you can join us.

Nous avons le plaisir de vous inviter à participer à la troisième table ronde sur le Soudan, organisée par le Centre Raoul Wallenberg pour les droits de la personne (CRWDP), le Global Accountability Network, le NRF South African Research Chair in International Law, le Public International Law and Policy Group (PILPG), le African Center for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS), le Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA Network) et la American Society of International Law (ASIL). Ensemble, nous examinerons les menaces immédiates auxquelles sont confrontés les travailleurs humanitaires de première ligne, les obstacles entravant l’acheminement de l’aide, ainsi que les stratégies concrètes permettant de protéger les opérations #humanitaires au #Soudan. Cette table ronde réunira des acteurs clés afin d’aborder ces menaces opérationnelles, de cerner les principales lacunes en matière de protection et d’élaborer des stratégies concrètes pour assurer la sécurité des travailleurs humanitaires sur le terrain. Alors que la guerre au Soudan de pursuit pour sa quatrième année, cette table ronde d’experts examinera notamment : 1. Pourquoi l’immense crise humanitaire au Soudan continue d’être largement ignorée et sous-financée à l’échelle mondiale; 2. Comment les organisations humanitaires peuvent concilier le maintien de l’accès aux populations et le signalement des violations des droits de la personne; 3. À quoi ressemblera l’aide humanitaire au Soudan en l’absence d’une intervention immédiate et significative, et quelles mesures peuvent être prises pour éviter ce scénario? Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous compter parmi nous. Inscrivez-vous ici: eventbrite.ca/.../under-fire…... @SARCILaw @PILPG @AfricanCentre @asilorg @Sihanet
