UN Experts Urge Deployment of Impartial Force to Protect Civilians in War-Torn Sudan
ai generated text
The conflict in Sudan between the national army and the Rapid Support Forces has resulted in a severe humanitarian crisis, with over 10 million people displaced from their homes. UN-backed human rights investigators have found that both warring parties have committed "harrowing human rights violations" that could amount to war crimes, including murder, mutilation, and torture. The investigators are calling for the establishment of an "independent and impartial force" to protect civilians in Sudan. The report also warns that foreign governments supplying arms or financial support to either side could be complicit in these war crimes.
The fact-finding mission considers that fighting will stop once the arms flow stops.
Given the failure of the parties to protect civilians so far, the fact-finding mission recommends the deployment of an independent and impartial force with a mandate to protect civilians in Sudan.
The warring parties also targeted civilians... through rape and other forms of sexual violence, arbitrary arrest and detention, as well as torture and ill-treatment.
