ICC Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan briefed the UN Security Council on the Office of the Prosecutor’s ongoing investigation into Darfur, following a visit to refugee camps in eastern Chad where she met with displaced Darfuris from Adre, Farchana, GozBeida, and several other camps.
The Darfur Network for Human Rights (DNHR) welcomes the ICC’s continued investigation into Darfur and the direct engagement with victim communities in Chad. The warning that atrocities may be imminent in El Obeid echoes the same signals that preceded past assaults on El Geneina and El Fasher, and should be treated by the international community as an urgent call to prevent, not merely document, further crimes. DNHR renews its call for the RSF to cooperate with the ICC, and for the international community to ensure the Office of the Prosecutor has the resources and access it needs to pursue accountability for Darfur’s victims.
