The United Nations Security Council received an update from the International Criminal Court (ICC) on its work in Sudan's Darfur region, under investigation since 2005. The recent focus is on atrocities during the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), both active in the area. This briefing occurred as the ICC faces increasing scrutiny.
The session highlighted that the ICC continues to investigate serious international crimes, including genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression. The Court now faces new political pressure; notably, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has launched a campaign to dismantle the ICC, which could impact its operations.
