The United Nations Human Rights Council has mandated an independent fact-finding mission to investigate alleged atrocities in the Sudanese city of El Fasher. The resolution, adopted without a vote, orders a probe into reports of ethnically motivated killings, sexual violence, and other human rights violations committed by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk stated that the atrocities were foreseeable and preventable, criticizing the international community for its insufficient response. The session also heard from the African Union's Adama Dieng, who urged an immediate halt to the flow of weapons and fighters into Sudan, warning that it exacerbates the systematic targeting of specific groups.

The new mission is tasked with identifying those responsible for violations, collecting evidence for future legal proceedings, and assessing the risk of further mass atrocities. Its deployment is considered critical given the deteriorating situation and the scale of violence reported in the region.
