LEGAL & PROTECTION
The victims represented by the Coalition of Sudanese Victim Communities in the USA face a wide range of complex, interrelated impacts. These arise from their experiences of conflict, displacement, systemic marginalization, and the challenges of resettlement in the diaspora.
The document outlining the major impacts affecting the victims of the Coalition of Sudanese Victim Communities in the USA has been created. It categorizes the complex challenges they face—psychological, legal, economic, health-related, and more. The following outlines the major categories of impacts:
Legal and Protection Challenges
Lack of Justice or Accountability
Ongoing impunity for perpetrators of mass atrocities can leave victims feeling abandoned and powerless because they remain unpunished.
Statelessness or Complex Immigration
Victims may face difficulty and delays in securing legal residency, asylum, or family reunification, or even denial of protection.
Inaccessibility of Reparations
Victims may be excluded from international reparative justice mechanisms, compensation, or restitution programs.
