<p>The UK condemns the continuing violence and suffering being wrought by the warring
parties on the people of Sudan, including in South Darfur. The UK remains committed
to ensuring that those responsible for these serious atrocities in Sudan are held
to account. The UK welcomed the publication of the Panel of Experts report in early
March. The credible evidence of external military support to the Rapid Support Forces
(RSF) highlighted in the report is concerning. As well as the work of the UN Panel
of Experts, we continue to support the essential work of the Office of the High Commissioner
for Human Rights in Sudan (OHCHR) and the International Criminal Court in investigating
and documenting reports of these serious atrocities. In addition, on 11 October, the
Human Rights Council (HRC) adopted the UK-led 'Sudan Core Group' resolution to establish
an independent and international Fact-Finding Mission to ensure credible allegations
of human rights violations and abuses in Sudan will be investigated impartially. The
HRC joint statement on behalf of 44 counties also reinforces UK support for better
humanitarian access and a ceasefire in Sudan.</p>
