Purpose: This paper examines Sudan’s sustainable development and accountability systems post-war, highlighting how political turbulence obstructs peacebuilding, justice, and sustainability efforts.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The review assesses international humanitarian law and transitional justice in post-conflict cases, recommending Sudan-specific solutions.
Findings: Findings indicate that complete accountability has become limited by the widespread culture of immunity. Hybrid tribunals can still be created alongside peacebuilding, justice, and sustainability efforts despite existing obstacles.
Originality/Value: The paper bonds localised conflict resolution plans with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by providing guidance for legislators, civil society, and international stakeholders to tackle crises and establishing resilience capabilities.
Research Limitations/Implications: Instability hinders access to reliable data, forcing reliance on secondary sources. The proposed strategies serve as valuable models for other vulnerable countries.
Practical Implications: Sudan can meet SDG targets by establishing independent judiciary institutions and promoting gender-inclusive policies with community engagement for better accountability.
Keywords: Sudan; Conflict; Accountability; Transitional Justice; Sustainable Development; Institutional Reform.
