Although the Members welcomed "the continued progress in the landmark trial of Mr. Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-
Rahman (Ali Kushayb)", 
"We are deeply concerned by the ongoing violence and the dire humanitarian situation in Darfur, and across the rest of Sudan marked by widespread atrocities and reports of Rome Statute crimes being committed. These include killings, attacks on internally displaced persons (IDP) camps, sexual and gender-based violence, crimes against children, and large-scale displacement. The recurrence of atrocities including reports of targeting marginalized ethnic groups underscores the enduring legacy of impunity in the region."

Members also reiterated their "unwavering support for the ICC as an independent and impartial judicial 
institution."
