<p>The UK is committed to tackling gender-based violence including conflict-related
sexual violence globally. We continue to call for an end to the violence in Sudan,
and for those responsible for human rights violations to be held to account. The UK
has enhanced its atrocity risk monitoring, including monitoring of conflict-related
sexual violence. The Human Rights Council (HRC) adopted the UK-led 'Sudan Core Group'
Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) in October, which will ensure that credible allegations
of human rights violations and abuses, including conflict-related sexual violence,
by all sides will be investigated impartially by experts in their field to support
future accountability efforts. The HRC Presidency has begun the selection process
for the three experts that will make up the FFM. We continue to support the Office
for the High Commissioner for Human Rights and other UN partners working with Sudan's
Combating Violence Against Women Unit.</p>
