Overview
- The Human Rights Council adopted by consensus a resolution directing the UN fact‑finding mission on Sudan to urgently investigate El‑Fasher and, where possible, name those responsible.
- UN rights chief Volker Türk condemned reported crimes and warned perpetrators that justice will follow, as WHO confirmed more than 450 people were killed at the city’s Saudi Hospital.
- Mona Rishmawi of the UN mission said much of El‑Fasher is a crime scene and cited evidence of mass killings, rape, torture, abductions and enforced disappearances.
- UN agencies report nearly 100,000 people fled after the RSF takeover with only about 10,000 registered at arrival hubs, leaving many unaccounted for and many others trapped in famine‑like conditions.
- The resolution does not mandate probes into alleged external backers; Sudan’s envoy accused the UAE of supporting the RSF, the UAE issued a denial, and the ICC said it is preserving evidence for potential prosecutions.
