The ICC's Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan identifies grave human rights abuses in Darfur, with reasonable grounds to suspect ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity. Since the conflict intensified in 2023, over 40,000 have died, and 13 million have been displaced. Khan reports widespread famine, targeted attacks on hospitals, and weaponization of sexual violence and humanitarian aid. Additionally, abductions for ransom are prevalent, and civilians face severe deprivation of basic necessities such as food and water.
The depth of suffering and the humanitarian crisis in Darfur has reached an intolerable state. Famine is escalating, and hospitals and civilian infrastructure are being targeted.
There are reasonable grounds to believe that war crimes and crimes against humanity have been and are continuing to be committed in Darfur.
The humanitarian situation is intolerable, with aid unable to reach those in dire need, people deprived of water and food, and sexual violence being weaponized.
Abductions for ransom have become common practice, threatening the safety and security of civilians in the region.
