More than 150,000 people have been killed and about 12 million have been forced from their homes since the war began in Sudan over two years ago.
The United Nations Human Rights Council has given unanimous backing to a fresh, independent investigation into mass killings reported in a Sudanese city of el-Fasher.
Since the war began over two years ago, more than 150,000 people have been killed and about 12 million have been forced from their homes.
The new investigation is mandated to identify those who ordered and carried out the massacre.
The findings could be shared with the International Criminal Court.
While UN human rights chief Volker Türk warned individuals and companies "fuelling and profiting" from Sudan's war, there is disappointment that the mandate makes no mention of other countries sponsoring the conflict.
The United Arab Emirates is accused of shipping weapons to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) military group, while Iran has been accused of supplying some weapons to the Sudanese army.
