“It is a war on villages, homes, hospitals, schools, and vital systems that have been reduced to rubble in conflict hotspots, and it is a war on human rights and international humanitarian law. The indiscriminate attacks that are killing, injuring, and terrorizing civilians could amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity,” Guterres told reporters at the Security Council stakeout. Earlier on Monday, the League of Arab States (LAS) presented a five-pronged plan to resolve the conflict in Sudan. The plan stipulates the need to preserve Sudan's institutions, as well as provide support for ceasefire efforts, an urgent humanitarian response, a comprehensive political path, and cooperation between the Arab League, the United Nations, and the African Union for the settlement of the Sudanese crisis, according to the statement. On April 15, 2023, clashes broke out between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The parties to the conflict have since introduced several temporary nationwide ceasefires, but none has helped settle the conflict. Sudanese Health Minister Haitham Mohamed Ibrahim told Sputnik in a comment published earlier on Monday that more than 13,000 people had been killed and over 30,000 others injured over one year of the armed conflict in Sudan.

UN Chief Says Sudan's Internal War Could Amount to War Crimes Against Humanity
UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - The internal war in Sudan between the warring parties could result in war crimes against humanity given the attacks against civilians, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Monday.
“It is a war on villages, homes, hospitals, schools, and vital systems that have been reduced to rubble in conflict hotspots, and it is a war on human rights and international humanitarian law. The indiscriminate attacks that are killing, injuring, and terrorizing civilians could amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity,” Guterres told reporters at the Security Council stakeout. Earlier on Monday, the League of Arab States (LAS) presented a five-pronged plan
to resolve the conflict in Sudan.
The plan stipulates the need to preserve Sudan's institutions, as well as provide
support for ceasefire efforts, an urgent humanitarian response, a comprehensive political path, and cooperation between the Arab League, the United Nations, and the African Union for the settlement of the Sudanese crisis, according to the statement.
On April 15, 2023, clashes broke out between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The parties to the conflict have since introduced several temporary nationwide ceasefires, but none has helped settle the conflict.
