The United Nations is prepared to investigate potential chemical weapons use by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) if the UN receives a mandate, according to Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres. The UN also backs efforts to curb weapons flowing into Sudan, the spokesman said, ahead of the General Assembly's high-level debate in New York.
US President Donald Trump is scheduled to address the debate, which will focus on conflicts in the Middle East, including Sudan and Yemen, as well as Gaza and Lebanon.
