Abstract

The research was on effects of poor funding on United Nations Security Council humanitarian intervention in Sudan. The specific objective of the study was to determine the extent to which poor funding affected the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) humanitarian intervention in Sudan from 2003-2018. In line with this objective, the researcher sourced for data from relevant textbooks, previous research works, journals, newspapers and video clips obtained from institutions like office of the United Nations Organization in Nigeria, libraries, internet services and military formations in Nigeria. Relevant literature to this study were duly reviewed while the three Grotian theories of humanitarian intervention were found very suitable for the research. Based on the qualitative nature of the research, data collated for the study were duly tested and analyzed using textual presentation and analysis. The research confirmed that the dwindling financial contributions to the Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF) by donor countries and agencies from $172.3million in 2006 to a paltry $36.3 million in 2017 had been one of the major factors that undermined the success of the humanitarian mission in Sudan. The study therefore recommends that the UNSC should mobilize other critical stakeholders to make meaningful financial commitment to ensure the success of the humanitarian mission in Sudan.
