NEW YORK: The UN Security Council on Tuesday sanctioned four senior commanders of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, including the brother of the paramilitary group’s leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, over atrocities committed in Darfur, according to a committee statement and diplomats. The action was taken by the Security Council committee established pursuant to resolution 1591 (2005) concerning Sudan, which oversees an arms embargo as well as targeted travel bans and asset freezes under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. The four men are now subject to a global asset freeze and travel ban.
