The Human Rights Council, made up of 47 UN member states, is to vote on a resolution that would further scrutinize human rights violations taking place in Sudan.The fighting in Sudan started as a result of a power struggle between the chief of Sudan's military, Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, and rival Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who commands the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF.
The call to hold the special session was led by Western countries and joined by others, including Chile, Costa Rica, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan. Europe and the United States co-sponsored the draft resolution. The conflict has so far killed more than 600 people, including civilians, and displaced hundreds of thousands. The violence has also spread to other regions, namely the restive Darfur province.
