Searching for Solutions in Darfur?
This post was written in response to a cross post we ran this morning from Campus Progress.
Well-meaning people can disagree about the way to characterize the ongoing crisis in Darfur. Given the evidentiary requirement to prove intent in the Genocide Convention, it would be difficult at this stage to prove that it is or is not a genocide. That is why the International Criminal Court judges split on the question, and left the case open for further evidence. It is a fair debate.
An even more important debate is the question of what to do about the crisis in Darfur. To be clear, whether one calls what is happening genocide or not would have no bearing on my or the Enough Project's advocacy. If people are experiencing major human rights abuses, if conflict is tearing the fabric of an entire society to pieces, we have a moral and strategic obligation to respond and determine the best way to bring about a solution as quickly as possible.
In the case of Darfur, the activist community is for the most part united around a clear policy platform. We present it in fairly simple terms -- though some of us have years of experience in negotiating with the parties to Sudan's various conflicts. We back these shorter proposals up with longer reports. What we are proposing is a Door One/Door Two scenario.
- Behind Door One: If the government or rebels support the peace process, respect human rights, cooperate with justice initiatives, and facilitate humanitarian aid, then improved relations, aid and trade with that group are possible.
- Behind Door Two: If the government or rebels obstruct the peace process, attack civilians, undermine justice, and block humanitarian aid, then an escalating set of consequences should result.
The answer in Sudan is comprehensive peace, rooted in justice, and supported by democracy. Those are the fundamental reforms that are necessary for an end to the suffering, whatever you want to call it.
I agree with all your ideas comments expressed over here. Well done.

Piece should be always the only solution. Darfur is a sad place to live. Respect to everybody who take action against this genocide.

Thanks For This Post, was added to my bookmarks.
L'application d'un coussin chauffant sur une zone de votre corps ou un muscle endolori peut facilement procurer un soulagement rapide. Certains coussins chauffants sont électriques et vous pouvez ajuster le niveau de chaleur. D'autres modèles doivent être chauffés au micro-ondes et contiennent des céréales à l'intérieur qui permettent de conserver une chaleur.
Le collier anti aboiement empêchera votre chien de japper. Certains modèles émettent des jets de citronnelle vers le nez de l'animal canin. Votre ami à quatres pattes sera ainsi bien éduqué et dressé et ne dérangera pas les voisins.
Thank you for this awesome post

Thank you for sharing this sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this to be used as resources in my freelance writing jobs UK and freelance writing work project. We got to grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such great information being shared freely out there.
I think it was a beautiful work.

It's really sad that this situation doesn't get much coverage here in the United States. If the Darfur situation was in Mexico, it would be much more well know.

Thank you I,m waiting for this solution given here which resolved my issues to solve the project.
It will be great if health screening is available for all in Darfur to prevent diseases from killing people.
Glad to know about this issue. Keep on posting more valuable information because I'm always up to your post. Thank you and keep up the good job.

"we have a moral and strategic obligation to respond and determine the best way to bring about a solution as quickly as possible."
the only way solutions will be worked out will be continued pressure of other countries on the political parties involved.

I totally agree with you. Politicians will never stop making their own intrigues.

Certainly not happening but what you will say for the Iraq war and boming in Afghanistan.
These all are also a part of Genocide, whether you accept it or not.

Can not believe that even today Genocide kind of things are going on and developed countries are not doing anything.
We should take step before this can be more worse.

i don't know why all the developed countries are rushing to word power while we are going to face a serious problem and no one is serious not even interested.

It is clear that there cannot be long-term solutions to the Darfur crisis without a resolution of the political conflicts behind it

Without the political undercuttings being resolved nothing permanent can possibly be effected.

i appreciate the effort of the author writing this blog post as we can't get much information like this anywhere. genocides or not, it surely depends upon the view of the community.

I think that whether it is genocide or not, the bottom line is that people lost their lives there. The officials should do what they can to hear out the people out. they wouldn't cause much trouble if they didn't have anything to fight for!
whatever, Darfur event was a tragedy, hope that never happen again on our planet.
well i guess, in any circumstances solution are just there waiting to be realized and see.
I agree that whether this is considered genocide or not the repercussions are just as destructive. Level headed well researched reform is always refreshing. I heard about enoughproject.org on a PRI radio program a few months back. I listen to these PRI podcasts while at my job house cleaning in San Diego and the one on the enough project stopped me in my tracks. Keep up the good work.

I agree that crisis in Darfur is a very important issue and should be solved as soon as possible, but I don't see how can we do it.
Great post but i am not sure i understand this part An even more important debate is the question of what to do about the crisis in Darfur. kids games
I believe things are too tensed in that country still. If the government isn't able to reach to a conclusion, some other initiatives must be put into place. Where are the human rights activists now? Things are just going too awry and people just wait for something to happen and take action then rather than preventing it.
