"In September 2024, the United Nations’ independent fact-finding mission to
Sudan issued its first report. Citing grave human rights violations amounting
to war crimes and crimes against humanity, the report called for the immediate
deployment of an independent and impartial force to protect civilians.

Nearly 18 months after the outbreak of fighting, the humanitarian situation in
Sudan has become dire, with nearly 25 million people in need of assistance. Is
the deployment of a peacekeeping presence to protect civilians feasible or even
advisable? Jenna Russo, whose research focuses on the protection of civilians
in armed conflict settings and the UN’s contribution to peace processes, shares
her insights."
