New york: At the UN, Pakistan has emphasized that crimes committed in West Darfur, El Geneina, and El Fasher must not go unpunished. Speaking in the UN Security Council, Deputy Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the UN, Usman Jadoon, highlighted the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions in the conflict-stricken regions of Sudan.

According to Radio Pakistan, Usman Jadoon stressed that strengthening Sudan’s national justice institutions should be an essential priority for achieving sustainable, credible, and locally-anchored accountability.
