President KC Meets the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs of the Republic of South Sudan

Juba, Monday, 14 September 2026 — President of the Europe Peace Foundation and Founder and Initiator of Global Peace 2030, Mr. Sappan KC Hum, held an official meeting with the Honourable Dr. Wek Mamer Kuol, Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs of the Republic of South Sudan.

During the meeting, President KC expressed his gratitude to the Honourable Minister for receiving the delegation and for the warm welcome extended to him during his official peace mission to South Sudan.

President KC explained that his visit forms part of the Global Peace 2030 mission, which seeks to promote lasting peace, national unity, reconciliation, human rights, justice, the rule of law and non-violent solutions to conflict. He recognised the courage and resilience of the people of South Sudan and expressed his conviction that they deserve lasting peace, security, development and a better future.

During the meeting, President KC formally presented his special proposal for the declaration of South Sudan as a Peaceful Nation, along with a Certificate of Appreciation recognising and encouraging the Minister’s continued contribution to peace. President KC also reaffirmed his commitment to supporting lasting peace and a National Peace and Reconciliation Roadmap for South Sudan towards 2030.

He urged the Government of the Republic of South Sudan to begin the appropriate national process to declare South Sudan a Peaceful Nation. He explained that such a declaration would not suggest that every conflict or national challenge had already ended. Rather, it would represent a strong national commitment to reject violence, resolve disagreements peacefully, protect human dignity and build a united and prosperous country.

President KC also proposed the adoption of a National Peace, Reconciliation and Development Roadmap towards 2030. The proposed roadmap would support inclusive national dialogue, community reconciliation, justice, constitutional development, protection of civilians, respect for human rights, voluntary disarmament, peace education and the meaningful participation of women and young people.

He emphasised that justice and the rule of law are essential foundations for lasting peace. He therefore encouraged continued efforts to strengthen public confidence in national institutions, guarantee equal protection under the law and ensure that constitutional processes contribute to stability, inclusion and peaceful democratic development.

President KC called upon all political leaders, communities and parties to reject violence and inflammatory language and to support free, fair, credible, transparent, inclusive and peaceful elections. He further offered the support of the Europe Peace Foundation and Global Peace 2030 for transparent dialogue and mediation between the Government and all relevant conflict parties. President KC also requested an official written statement from the Government of the Republic of South Sudan recognising Global Peace 2030 and supporting its objectives of advancing lasting peace, stability, dialogue and international cooperation.

In response, the Honourable Dr. Wek Mamer Kuol welcomed President KC and expressed his appreciation for the visit and the peace initiative. He encouraged President KC to continue his international work for peace and expressed support for the objectives of Global Peace 2030.

The Honourable Minister stated that South Sudan supports peace and initiatives that can contribute positively to national dialogue, reconciliation and stability. He welcomed President KC’s proposed peace roadmap and his vision of advancing lasting peace in South Sudan by 2030.

The Minister also expressed the Government’s readiness to welcome President KC’s constructive participation in national dialogue and peace processes where his contribution and international peace mission could support ongoing national efforts.

President KC thanked the Honourable Minister for his positive response, encouragement and support. He reaffirmed his readiness to cooperate with the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, the Government of South Sudan and other stakeholders in advancing justice, reconciliation, national dialogue and lasting peace.

At the conclusion of the meeting, President KC again urged the Government and people of South Sudan to embrace the vision of declaring the country a Peaceful Nation and to work together towards lasting peace by 2030.

“South Sudan can send a new message of hope to Africa and the world. Peace is the foundation of justice, unity, development and a secure future for every citizen,” President KC stated.
