GENEVA (AN) — Inside the Palais des Nations, diplomats approved an urgent human rights inquiry into Sudan after investigators gave diplomats graphic evidence that much of el-Fasher, Sudan, "now is a crime scene."
A special session of the U.N. Human Rights Council on Friday adopted the resolution without a vote. The 47-nation council strongly condemned the escalating violence and reported atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces and associated forces in and around el-Fasher, following their assault on the city, including large-scale atrocities such as ethnically motivated killings and widespread use of sexual and gender-based violence as a weapon of warfare.
