Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, Rosemary Anne DiCarlo, reiterated the Secretary-General’s call on all parties in Sudan to “exercise maximum restraint and avoid further bloodshed.”

DiCarlo today (19 Apr) briefed the Council on the situation in Sudan.

“In short, this is a crisis of epic proportions. It is also wholly manmade,” she said.
The Under-Secretary-General highlighted, “All warring parties must uphold their obligations under International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law and adhere to the Jeddah Declaration of Commitment to Protect the Civilians of Sudan.”

DiCarlo also said, “But if the parties have been able to sustain their confrontation, it is in no small part thanks to the material support they receive from outside the Sudan. These external actors continue to flout the sanctions regime imposed by the Council to support a political settlement, thereby fueling the conflict.”

She reiterated, “This is illegal, it is immoral and it must stop.”
