Item 1: Urgent Debate on the human rights situation in and around El Obeid,
North Kordofan in the context of the ongoing conflict in the Sudan

Thank you, Mr. President.
We would like to express our appreciation for the coordination by the core group and their flexibility throughout the process.
Japan is deeply concerned by reports of the escalation of military mobilization by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allied forces in and around El Obeid in Sudan. This significantly increases the risk of violence against civilians and attacks on civilian infrastructure, as well as further escalation of the conflict in El Obeid, the Kordofan region, and beyond.
Given these alarming developments, integrated and coordinated action is urgently needed to prevent further atrocities and protect civilians. El Obeid must not become another El Fasher. From this perspective, Japan supports both the primary purpose and the convening of this Urgent Debate.
We join our partners in calling upon the RSF and their allied forces to immediately cease any actions that put innocent lives at risk, obstruct humanitarian access, or contribute to further atrocities and suffering.
Japan, together with the countries concerned, has been urging the relevant parties in Sudan to respect human rights, de-escalate tensions, commit to an immediate and permanent ceasefire, and improve access to humanitarian assistance. Japan is committed to continuing these efforts toward improving the situation in Sudan.
I thank you.
