The ‘Agreement on Ground Rules’ in South Sudan

This report offers an independent analysis of the ‘Ground Rules’ agreed between the UN’s Operation Lifeline Sudan and SPLM/A leader John Garang in July 1995. It argues that the influence of the Ground Rules is evident in five areas: in the regulation and coordination of the humanitarian programme in southern Sudan; in the system of security; in the management of assistance; in protection activities; and in capacity-building and good governance.
