Nearly 80 Sudanese, African, and international NGOs have called for the extension of the mandate of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) for Sudan, which the UN Human Rights Council established at its 54th regular session (through resolution 54/2), in October 2023.
This Question and Answer document seeks to address key questions that may arise as States consider their position ahead of the Council’s 57th session (HRC57, 9 September-11 October 2024), during which the FFM will present a written report. The signatory organisations urge States to support a resolution that extends the FFM’s mandate for at least one year.
