The Panel was informed of 122 sexual violence cases documented by UNAMID from January to October 2018. Many survivors do not receive adequate medical care, said the report.

At the Jan. 17 briefing, a few members of the Security Council including Germany and France expressed their support for including sexual violence as a new listing criterion for targeted sanctions.

Although the 15 council members have contrasting assessments of the overall situation in Darfur and the sanctions regime, they seemed generally satisfied on establishing benchmarks to review the sanctions measures.

Therefore, the newest adopted resolution 2455 expressed their intention to establish "clear, well identified, and measurable" key benchmarks that could serve in guiding the Security Council to review measures on the Government of Sudan.

The western Sudanese region of Darfur has been plagued by a war between Sudanese government forces and the indigenous population since 2003.

In early 2008, the UNAMID was deployed in Darfur, and it is considered as the second biggest peacekeeping mission in the world, after the UN Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
