Statement by  H.E. Ambassador Ali BAHREINI Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations Office and other International Organizations in Geneva  before   38th Special Session of the Human Rights Council on the Human Eights Situation in and around El Fasher, in the Context of the Ongoing Conflict in the Sudan Geneva, 14 November 2025 بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم  Mr. President, The Islamic Republic of Iran expresses its profound concern over the escalating human rights and humanitarian situation in and around El Fasher, amid the ongoing conflict in Sudan. The severe famine, massive displacement, and widespread civilian suffering constitute one of the gravest humanitarian crises globally, demanding urgent attention. We deeply regret the persistent silence and lack of decisive action, which has worsened the crisis and reflects troubling double standards. Of particular concern is the continued failure to effectively prevent the transfer of arms contributing to these atrocities. Foreign interventions, including arms supplies and mercenary recruitment, fuel conflicts and deepen humanitarian crises. Iran emphasizes the necessity of respecting the territorial integrity of Sudan. Iran strongly rejects any attempt to impose a situation of “dual governance” or to weaken the central authority of the legitimate government of Sudan. We call on all Member States to act decisively, protect civilians, and support lasting peace and unity in Sudan. Thank you. -----
