GENEVA, Switzerland — The UN Human Rights Council orders investigators to seek to identify all those behind alleged atrocities in Sudan’s El-Fasher to help ensure they are brought to justice.

The United Nations’ top rights body adopts a resolution ordering the UN’s independent fact-finding mission on Sudan to urgently investigate violations of international law by all sides in the western city, and urging it to “identify, where possible,” suspected perpetrators in a bid to ensure they are “held accountable.”
