Maltreatment of civilians

State-supported violence against citizens
Beatings of civilians

Incidence

Maltreatment of civilians remains a pervasive issue in both conflict and peacetime settings, affecting millions globally each year. Reports from organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch document widespread abuses, including forced displacement, torture, and extrajudicial killings, across regions such as the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia. The problem persists despite international legal frameworks intended to protect non-combatants, highlighting systemic failures in enforcement and accountability.
In 2023, the conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region saw a surge in civilian maltreatment, with documented cases of mass killings, sexual violence, and forced displacement perpetrated by armed groups, as reported by the United Nations.
