Sudan’s United Nations ambassador has argued that a proposed total arms embargo on the country violates the UN Charter’s principle of self-defense, framing the measure as an unjustified restriction on its sovereignty. The diplomat emphasized that such a ban could undermine Sudan’s ability to protect itself amid ongoing security challenges. The statement highlights a key diplomatic dispute over whether international sanctions should prioritize humanitarian concerns or national defense rights. Critics of the embargo may use this position to push back against its implementation.
Sudan’s UN ambassador said a total arms embargo goes against the UN Charter that guarantees a right to self-defence.
