Kuwait: Peaceful political solutions form optimal path to address Sudan's crisis

GENEVA, Nov 14 (KUNA) -- The optimum path to address Sudan's crisis goes through comprehensive national dialogue and peaceful political solutions, away from any measures or mechanisms that lack consensus or the approval of the concerned state, Kuwait Permanent Representative to the UN and International Organizations in Geneva said on Friday.
Ambassador Nasser Al-Hayen made the statement during a speech he delivered before the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in an extraordinary session on the situation in Sudan's Al-Fashir City.
Kuwait stressed the necessity of respecting Sudan's sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence, Al-Hayen affirmed.
He expressed Kuwait's strong condemnation and denunciation of serious violations committed by Sudan's Rapid Support Forces against innocent civilians in the city.
He underlined the importance of protecting civilians and facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance to beneficiaries without obstacles or delays, in line with relevant international rules and the 2023 Jeddah declaration.
Al-Hayen renewed Kuwait's call for international and regional efforts aiming to ceasefire and resuming political process to reach an inclusive and sustainable peaceful settlement.
The ambassador emphasized Kuwait's call for empowering UN mechanisms working in Sudan to achieve duties in a constructive way that contributes to backing humanitarian efforts and boosting required response.
Kuwait is looking forward to the UNHRC's approval of a consensus resolution, which delivers clear and robust messages from the international community that shows the unified stance toward Sudanese people's sufferings, he noted.
Upon a request from UK and Germany, the UNHRC is holding the session on Al-Fashir situation, amid the growing war in Sudan, to take a decisive stance toward dangerous field developments. (pickup previous) amk.maa.hm
