Darfur: Chemical Weapons

(asked on 24th April 2017) - View Source

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to establish whether chemical weapons have been used against the civilian population in Darfur.


This question was answered on 27th April 2017

The OPCW asked the Government of Sudan, as a State Party to the Chemical Weapons Convention, to share all relevant information, and offered its assistance in any investigation. The Sudanese authorities have since reported to the OPCW that their national investigations have found no evidence of chemical weapon use in the Jebel Marra region. Separately, we continue to press the Government of Sudan, most recently at the UK-Sudan Strategic Dialogue on 29 March, to allow the AU/UN Peacekeeping Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) unrestricted access to all parts of Darfur.
