Mohamad Chande Othman

Mohamad Chande Othman is the chairman of the United Nations independent fact-finding mission on Sudan. He has played a crucial role in investigating and reporting on human rights violations in the context of the ongoing conflict in Sudan, particularly focusing on the events surrounding the paramilitary siege of El-Fasher. Under his leadership, the mission has concluded that the actions of the Rapid Support Forces in El-Fasher demonstrate the hallmarks of genocide, including widespread killings and sexual violence against specific ethnic groups. Othman's findings underscore the need for accountability and justice in the face of systematic atrocities.
