United Nations Security Council resolution 1556, adopted on 30 July 2004, after recalling resolutions 1502 (2003) and 1547 (2004) on the situation in Sudan, the council demanded that the Sudanese government disarm the Janjaweed militia and bring to justice those who had committed violations of human rights and international humanitarian law in Darfur.[1]
The resolution, the first of its kind to address the war in Darfur, was approved by 13 council members, while China and Pakistan abstained.[2] China said some measures included in the text of the resolution were "unhelpful", and Pakistan argued the final text lacked the "necessary balance".[1]
