UNHCR has published a position paper setting out its views on returns to Sudan. It concludes "UNHCR calls on States to suspend the forcible return of nationals and stateless persons who were habitual residents of Sudan, including those who have already had their asylum claims rejected. The bar on forcible return
serves as a minimum standard and needs to remain in place until such time as the security situation in
Sudan has significantly improved to permit a safe and dignified return of those determined not to be in
need of international protection."
