During the enhanced interactive dialogue on the oral reports of the Government of Sudan and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, at the 44th session of the Human Rights Council, on 16 July 2020, the World Evangelical Alliance welcomed the wide-ranging amendments to Sudan’s criminal law including repealing the death penalty for apostasy, and expressed hope that these courageous measures will include additional measures advocated for by Sudanese Christians including repealing the crime of "insulting religion" and the inclusion of Christian Religion in the time-table of the subjects for the Basic School Certificate for the coming school year.
