Special session on Sudan begins at Human Rights Council

Description

In Geneva, a special session of the UN Human Rights Council opens to discuss the situation in Sudan.

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk condemns "this wanton violence, in which both sides have trampled international humanitarian law, notably the principles of distinction, proportionality and precaution".
