The UN Human Rights Council published on 29 February 2024 an unedited version of its "Report of the Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan."
The report details a range of human rights violations, abuses, and related crimes, including systematic political repression and economic predation by political elites. Women continue to endure pervasive discrimination, inequality, sexual violence, and sexual slavery. Children suffer egregious violations, arising from the ongoing insurgency and resurgent subnational violence, fueled by local and national elites.
