Bring hope to forgotten conflicts
31 March 2026
As the Berlin Conference on Sudan approaches, Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust (HART) urges the international Coalition to protect civilians by preventing further atrocities.
We urge the UK, members of the Coalition and co-hosts of the conference to bring meaningful collective prioritisation to the distinct need to protect civilians and prevent further atrocities in addition to necessary efforts to secure unfettered aid access and a halt to supply weapons and military support to the warring parties.
We urge members of the Coalition to make clear to the warring parties that they will face swift and meaningful consequences for a failure to end ongoing atrocities, including widespread sexual violence, deliberate attacks on civilians, humanitarian workers and local responders, as well as those who aid and abet such actions.
Sudanese civil society and the voices of survivors must be at the heart of discussions in Berlin and the work of the Coalition, not consulted on the margins.
The statement is co-signed by Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust (HART), Human Rights Watch, Waging Peace, and Plan International. You can read the statement, in full, here.
