While there is growing appreciation of the need for protection of civilians, there remain lack of policy clarity on how this can be achieved practically in a war where conditions are lacking for the use of conventional mechanisms for protection of civilians, such as notably the deployment of an international protection force. The purpose of this special research report, which draws on a series of meetings held with Sudanese civilians and experts in Kampala, New York and Addis Ababa during the past few months, is to provide analysis of various options for the protection of civilians in Sudan that can be pursued with urgency as the search for successful negotiation for a ceasefire and final political settlement continues.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_button button_color=&#8221;color-165108&#8243; radius=&#8221;btn-square&#8221; hover_fx=&#8221;outlined&#8221; outline=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_width=&#8221;0&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;alpha-anim&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;200&#8243; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Famaniafrica-et.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2FPrioritising-Protection-of-Civilians-in-Peace-and-Security-Diplomacy-in-Sudan-Challenges-and-Options.pdf|target:_blank&#8221; button_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;798109&#8243;]Read Full Document[\/vc_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 November 2024<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[168,461,503],"class_list":["post-19711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-special-reports","tag-special-report","tag-sudan-conflict","tag-503"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
