The Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan is a United Nations commission of Inquiry established by the United Nations Human Rights Council[1]. The Commission was first established on 23 March 2016 through Resolution 31/20 for one year.

Currently, the members of the Commission are Ms. Yasmin Sooka[3][4] (chairperson, from South Africa), Mr. Barney Afako[5][6][7][8] (from Uganda), Mr. Carlos Castresana Fernandes[9][10][11] (from Spain). The Commissioners are supported by a secretariat based in Juba, South Sudan.
