Abstract
The protracted conflict between Sudan and South Sudan has lasted for more than five decades. This conflict has had severe humanitarian impacts. Including more than 383,000 fatalities and millions of refugees due to continuing tensions following South Sudan's secession in 2011. Despite international mediation efforts, the failure to implement the peace agreement and the non-compliance of the parties demonstrate the complexity of the problem, where cost-benefit analysis in a rational utilitarianism approach reveals that each group acts to maximize their interests, often ignoring the rights of minority groups and social justice. This research was analyzed using qualitative research methods based on primary and secondary data. Primary data is obtained from available reports, while secondary data is obtained from previous research that correlates with the research topic.
