Sudan | But Darfur’s innocent may not be protected in latest UN resolution, says former UN ambassador | Mindy Belz

Twelve months after the UN Security Council passed a historic resolution authorizing a peacekeeping force for disaster-ridden Darfur, 10 months after the Sudanese government denied access to those UN troops, nine months after it again agreed to accept them before again rejecting them—the UN Security Council has again passed a historic resolution on Darfur.

The circular response to what aid groups believe is the worst humanitarian disaster in the world has critics wondering if the latest UN effort—however historic—can succeed.

If it is successful, it will mean a multinational force of up to 26,000 peacekeepers, the largest UN force in the world, in Sudan by 2008—including an African Union force of 7,000 currently policing a region that is larger than Iraq. They may pry open access for food, clean water, and other humanitarian aid desperately needed by well over 2.5 million Darfurians displaced by the conflict. They could also hinder fighting between rebels and government-backed militias.
