June 26, 2026 (UNITED NATIONS) – The Sudanese representative to the U.N. firmly denied claims made on Friday that the Sudanese military had employed chemical weapons, asserting that Washington has not provided any proof despite a year of thorough bilateral inquiries.
Addressing the United Nations Security Council, Ambassador Al-Harith Idriss addressed remarks made by U.S. Senior Advisor Massad Boulos, who alleged that the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) had used chemical substances in breach of international law.
Boulos stated that the United States is implementing a new set of sanctions against Sudan due to its suspected use of chemical weapons and its non-compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention. He cautioned that the continuing conflict threatens to erode the core principles of international law, referencing serious breaches that include genocide committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as well as the deployment of chemical weapons by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).
In reply, Idriss stated that all allegations regarding unconventional weapons should be exclusively handled by the international monitoring body, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which Sudan is a part of on the executive board.
The Sudanese representative explained that Khartoum had previously set up a dedicated national committee to work with Washington. He mentioned that a U.S. technical team was allowed to visit areas where chemical weapons were reportedly used and took soil samples from four different locations.
As per Idriss, the American authorities have not provided adequate evidence despite these on-site inspections. He mentioned that the Sudanese envoy in Washington has maintained ongoing communication with both the U.S. Congress and the State Department for a full year, yet no verified documentation has been presented.
Sudan is still ready to present an official memorandum to the Security Council later this week concerning its diplomatic discussions with the United States on the issue, the envoy stated.
