The UN commission found that the United Arab Emirates hired mercenaries from Colombia to participate in the fighting alongside the Rapid Support Forces in the civil war in Sudan.
The Rapid Support Forces are accused of committing crimes against humanity.
This report could complicate the prospects of the candidacy of the senior representative of the United Arab Emirates, Nada Al-Nasheef, for the position of UN Secretary-General.
The report, which was presented to the Security Council last week, details how a UAE security company closely linked to the government in Abu Dhabi smuggled Colombian fighters into Sudan through territory controlled by UAE-sponsored organizations in Libya and Somalia.
