The effect of emergency status on human rights protection (Sudan – 2019): As a case study

Authors

Keywords:

State of emergency, declaration of a state of emergency in Sudan

Abstract

Most formations around the world unanimously accept the concept of emergency situation within its legal framework, mainly its importance and immediate need to maintain public order in nations that can withstand extraordinary situations or extraordinary events that can endanger their existence, existence, or unity. This belief is despite both international and domestic criticisms that governments can withstand when announced such a state, as the announcement and extraordinary measures as well as international human rights commitments can affect human rights and safety of public freedom according to human rights commitments. In this context, the study highlights the impacts of the emergency announcement in Sudan on February 22, 2019, which is about the protection of human rights and fundamental freedom for individuals and groups. In addition, its illegality stems from failure to fulfil the formal and objective conditions required for its announcement, resulting in many violations.
