<h1>South Sudan Restores Oil Flows Via Sudan, Citing Art. 125 UNCLOS Right of Access to Seaports</h1> South Sudan has resumed cross-border crude oil transportation through Sudan after drone attacks on Sudan-based oil installations caused a temporary shutdown, affecting contractual export obligations and transit arrangements. The attacks, attributed to an armed paramilitary group in Sudan's civil conflict, damaged facilities, caused a fatality, and prompted oil companies to halt output. South Sudan's Petroleum Ministry reports that production and pipeline flows from major fields have been restored, highlighting the economic necessity of secure transit to Port Sudan. Authorities in both states are seeking third-country involvement to deter further attacks and protect the corridor, invoking South Sudan's international legal right of access to seaports as a landlocked country.
