Geneva : The UN Human Rights Council has unanimously approved an draft resolution on the human rights situation in Sudan, which referred to the improvement in the human rights situation in the country on the light of the positive developments in Darfur.

The resolution was considered objective and came far away from politicization and selectivity.

The draft resolution was sponsored by the African Group through consultation and contacts with the European Group and the backing of Russia, China and Cuba.

The draft resolution stated that the human rights situation conditions are improving in Darfur, referring to the cooperation of Sudan government with the United Nations concerning the deployment of the hybrid operation in Darfur.

The resolution also pointed to the cooperation between Sudan and the international bodies which are concerned with human rights.

The draft resolution called on Sudan government to work for protection of the civilians from humanitarian violations. It also urged all parties to sit together in the negotiation table toward putting an end to the humanitarian violations that result from the conflict in Darfur.

The draft resolution was suggested by Egypt on behalf of the African member states at the UN Human Rights Council.

Meanwhile, deputy envoy of Sudan mission to the United Nations in Geneva, Ambassador Omer Dahab, said that the UN Human Rights Council acknowledged the improvement in the situation of human rights in Darfur and the steps adopted by Sudan government in this regard.
