RIGHT TO BE EVACUATED: SURVIVING THE SUDAN CONFLICT.

On May 10, 2023 by Abdurrahaman Ahmad Yahaya
RIGHT TO BE EVACUATED: SURVIVING THE SUDAN CONFLICT.

The world is experiencing a time when conflict is prevalent in many countries.  Unfortunately, civilians caught amid these conflicts often bear the brunt of the  situation. They risk losing their lives or being left stranded without help.

It is in  these situations that the right to be evacuated becomes crucial. This right ensures  that civilians are protected during times of war or conflict. However, the  implementation of this right has its limitations, which raises concerns about its  effectiveness.

Amid conflict, the safety and well-being of citizens become paramount. States are responsible for taking swift and effective action to protect their citizens in times of crisis. The recent Sudan conflict has  been tested this responsibility as countries  worldwide scramble to evacuate their respective citizens from the conflict zone  and put them to safety.

However, while some countries have been able to evacuate their citizens  successfully, others with limited resources have been left struggling to locate and  rescue their own people. What’s worse, countries with the resources to help have  shown no interest in lending assistance to evacuate citizens of other states who  are presently stranded in Sudan.

Despite repeated messages and shout-outs from these individuals that their states have forgotten them, these countries  with the means to help fold their arms and look the other way. 

This lack of empathy and omissions towards other civilians in danger is  disheartening and goes against the very principles of humanity. It raises important  questions about the limitations and scope of the right to be evacuated during times  of conflict and whether this right should extend beyond the confines of  international humanitarian law. 

It is worth noting that while humanitarian law is applicable in times of  the international and non-international armed conflict, its limitations have caused  problems when implementing the right to be evacuated. The overemphasis on  these two circumstances, combined with difficulties in identifying and classifying  them, has rendered the law useless in real-life situations.

RIGHT TO BE EVACUATED: SURVIVING THE SUDAN CONFLICT.

While protections are  enshrined in various international instruments, including the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocols, there is a clear gap in addressing the duty of other states  not directly involved in the conflict.

In other words, the law of armed conflict focuses more on the duties and obligations of the belligerent states rather than the  whole state, particularly concerning evacuation and ensuring civilians’ safety. 

This is where international human rights law comes in. While it mainly applies  in non-conflict situations, it also partially applies in conflict situations

(particularly to the Civilians populations and partially to combatants). Human  rights law recognizes the right to life, liberty, and security of persons for all  individuals. Using words like “Everyone” or “No one” in international  instruments emphasizes the universal nature of these rights.

For instance, Article  3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, “Everyone has the right  to life, liberty and security of person.” Yet, despite these rights’ universality, many  countries prioritize the safety of their citizens over those of other states. 

The debate over the extraterritorial obligation of states regarding the human rights is  far from settled. However, states should not turn a blind eye to the plight of other  civilians in times of crisis. The right to be evacuated is not limited to citizens of  a particular state, as all people deserve to be protected from harm.

It is  the hypocritical for states to claim to uphold the rights inherent by virtue of being  human beings while simultaneously abandoning those who are not their citizens.  This is a time when humanity should unite and work together to ensure that all  civilians, regardless of their nationality, are safe from harm.
