🔵 Violence has changed — not stopped
🔵 Civilians remain exposed

In #SouthSudan, large-scale fighting has shifted to fragmented, localised violence — with continued killings, displacement, attacks on civilians and constrained humanitarian access

The protection gap remains

Our statement to General Assembly

🔵People in #SouthSudan deserve to live without fear & shape their future
🔵The window to prevent wider atrocities is narrowing

Amazing moment.

Navi Pillay has received the Nobel Peace Prize ! https://t.co/HL3r1PJzLO

We are at the Nuremberg Court; I cannot think of a stronger symbol for her Nobel prize.

We are all so thrilled!

This is her first reactions upon hearing the news:

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

Former @UNHumanRights High Commissioner Navi Pillay has been announced as the winner of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

[UN Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan @UNCHRSS]

For a decade, we have documented serious violations in #SouthSudan and repeatedly identified impunity as a central driver of violence

This cycle cannot be broken without credible accountability, functioning justice institutions and transparent management of public resources

[UN Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan @UNCHRSS]

🔵South Sudanese have a right to vote
🔵That right must be protected

As #SouthSudan prepares for elections, voters must be able to participate freely, compete fairly and resolve electoral disputes through credible institutions

Elections must not become a trigger for violence
