Judicial Branch
The Judicial Branch is the guardian of Sudan’s Constitution, rights, and rule of law during the transitional period. It ensures justice and accountability while maintaining the independence of the judiciary as a cornerstone of democratic governance. By providing equal access to justice and upholding constitutionalism, the judiciary serves as a stabilizing force in Sudan’s path toward peace and national reconciliation.
