The @UN_HRC stood united in adopting by consensus a resolution on the human rights situation in and around El Obeid in Sudan. With El Obeid on the precipice of an atrocity that could deepen the suffering seen in El Fasher, all parties must act now to protect civilians.

Civilians in Sudan have already endured the worst of atrocities. The RSF must halt their attack on El Obeid. The UK has called today's debate at the @UN_HRC because hundreds of thousands more lives are at stake. The international community must not turn away.

The Human Rights Council is responding to clear warning signs, with a view to preventing further mass atrocities in Sudan.

Last year, the world watched in horror as the Rapid Support Forces raped, pillaged, and murdered their way through El Fasher. This cannot be repeated. UK Statement on Sudan at #HRC62

Structural inequalities, discriminatory laws & gender-based violence limit women's & girls' human rights globally. It's why we must keep strengthening the focus on gender at the UPR. Thanks to co-hosts North Macedonia + @UPRinfo & @epi_skopje for joining this valuable discussion.

Marking International #WomenInDiplomacyDay during @HRC62 at @UN_HRC. Women in diplomacy are architects of peace, advocates for equality, and leaders shaping global cooperation. Their leadership is vital to building inclusive, just and resilient societies.

Alarmed by report that global use of death penalty surged to 2,707 in 2025, an increase of 78% on 2024. The UK opposes the death penalty in all circumstances. We call for universal abolition of the death penalty and commend states moving towards this. amnesty.org/en/documents/A…
