The United Nations Human Rights Council has condemned attacks on civilians in Sudan and called for a ceasefire between warring parties. The council adopted a resolution extending the mandate of its independent fact-finding mission by a vote of 28 to 10, with nine abstentions. The war between Sudan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces, which began in April 2023, has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced over 13 million, according to human rights groups. The resolution demands an immediate ceasefire and calls for independent monitoring of abuses by both sides, including widespread violations of international humanitarian law such as indiscriminate attacks against civilians and destruction of critical infrastructure like schools and hospitals.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
