Members of the U.N. Human Rights Council on Friday adopted a resolution for an independent fact-finding mission to investigate reported mass killings in al-Fashir, Sudan.
At a special session of the Council in Geneva on the situation in the city in Darfur, which fell to paramilitary forces in October, the text passed without a vote - a strong sign of international support.
The fact-finding mission will also seek to identify the perpetrators of violations allegedly committed by the Rapid Support Forces and their allies in al-Fashir.
