Overview
- The council adopted by consensus a resolution tasking the independent fact‑finding mission to urgently investigate El‑Fasher and identify suspected perpetrators for accountability.
- UN human rights chief Volker Türk said evidence is being collected for potential legal proceedings, with the International Criminal Court monitoring the situation closely.
- The World Health Organization reported more than 450 people killed at El‑Fasher’s Saudi Hospital, while UN investigators cited deliberate killings, rape, abductions and enforced disappearances on a mass scale.
- UNHCR says nearly 100,000 people fled since the city fell but only about 10,000 have been registered at arrival hubs, leaving tens of thousands unaccounted for as civilians face famine‑like conditions.
- Fighting and displacement are shifting toward Kordofan, including the strategic city of el‑Obeid, and the resolution stops short of probing alleged external backers as the UAE rejects accusations it supports the RSF.
