International lawyer Amanda Ghahremani discusses broadening the accountability lens and how documenting mass atrocities in Sudan can go beyond recording individual incidents and direct perpetrators, by focusing on the broader ecosystem that enables conflict — including financial systems, corporate actors, weapons suppliers, and surveillance technologies—that often remains underexamined.
Ghahremani highlights the crucial role Sudanese civil society organisations play by documenting harms, and outlines how identifying corporate complicity and connecting with other accountability actors can widen the scope of justice by linking crimes in Sudan to foreign jurisdictions and alternative legal forums, including civil and administrative accountability.
Ghahremani spoke with Wayamo’s International Criminal Lawyer & Project Coordinator Linda Bore on the sidelines of Wayamo training and mentoring sessions for Sudanese civil society organisations in Kampala, Uganda in November 2025.
