In Geneva, a special session of the UN Human Rights Council opens to discuss the situation in Sudan. More than 750 people have been killed and hundreds of thousands have been displaced in the fighting that began on April 15 between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk condemns "this wanton violence, in which both sides have trampled international humanitarian law, notably the principles of distinction, proportionality and precaution".
