United States views on international law [1] in relation to Sudan and South Sudan: Asylum, Refugee, and Migrant Protection Issues: On January 9, 2013, DHS announced that it was both extending the existing designation of South Sudan for TPS for 18 months and redesignating South Sudan for TPS for 18 months, effective May 3, 2013 through November 2, 2014. 78 Fed. Reg. 1866 (Jan. 9, 2013). DHS also announced on the same day that it was likewise both extending the designation of, and redesignating, Sudan for TPS for the same period. 78 Fed. Reg. 1872. The redesignation of each country allows additional individuals residing continuously in the United States since January 9, 2013 to obtain TPS benefits, if eligible. The extension and redesignation of each country were based on a determination that conditions in each country have continued to deteriorate and there continues to be a substantial, but temporary, disruption of living conditions in each country based upon ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions that prevent nationals of each from returning in safety.
