Abstract
This Research paper analyses violations of human rights in a conflict setting. The focus of this study is in South Sudan the world's youngest nation which has been affected by recurring civil war since it gained independence. This study analyses the causes and impact of the recurring civil war in South Sudan and provides suggestions to peace and stability in South Sudan. In order to achieve the objectives, the study examines the various reasons why there is recurring civil war and the key actors to the war and why despite various peace initiates the war has persisted to exist. The Research paper further investigates with regard to human rights •the existence of laws at the national/domestic, regional, and international level highlighting the particular provisions of law that uphold human rights and deal with human rights violations. In conclusion, this paper further sees the role of the international community in supporting the peace initiatives in South Sudan as essential not only to put an end to the civil war but to free children, women and the citizens at large from the ravages of the civil war.
