<p>The UK has used its position as a Permanent Member of the UN Security Council and
penholder on Sudan to call multiple meetings to take action in response to the conflict,
to call for a ceasefire, and to discuss the dire humanitarian and human rights situation
On 27 February, we called for the UN Security Council to convene for a closed consultation
in response to the SAF's decision to withdraw permission for the movement of aid into
Sudan from the Adre border crossing in Chad. On 8 March, the UK-led UN Security Council
Resolution 2724 called for an immediate cessation of hostilities; unhindered humanitarian
access; and for the UN Secretary-General Personal Envoy Ramtane Lamamra to complement
and coordinate regional peace efforts. We continue to work with Council members to
keep Sudan on the UNSC's agenda and to call for a cessation of hostilities, protection
of civilians, and unhindered humanitarian access including at the next UK-requested
Sudan Security Council meeting on 19 April.</p>
