Sudan Determines International Litigation Routes to Prosecute Militia Leaders and Supporting States

Minister of Justice Abdullah Dirif chaired a meeting on Monday at his ministry office with members of the Committee for Launching and Pursuing International Lawsuits Against the Terrorist Dagalo Family Militia, its Leaders, and Supporting Countries—a body he also heads.

The meeting reviewed reports from subcommittees tasked with identifying international and regional legal avenues, mapping out countries whose domestic legislation allows for litigation regarding war crimes and crimes against humanity, and managing the evidence and proofs committee.

The committee discussed and approved the legal pathways report. The meeting concluded with directives for the evidence and proofs committee to finalize its work, paving the way for the drafting of formal legal petitions as soon as the evidence collection phase is completed.
