No, because action is being taken by the African Union peacekeeping force\n\nHowever, the AU is struggling and the UN wants to step in (see link on UN request to deploy military planners)\n\nAnd UN countries won't commit forces to be solely managed by AU military leadership as it is not as mature as something like NATO

Likely, unfortunately. Unless there is outside intervention, Darfur will (it already has) spilled over into Chad.\n\nhttp://www.civilrights.org/issues/human/details.cfm?id=41413

Yes they could be far better used in Darfur. And I think the troops would feel better about what they would be doing also.\n\nIagree with Skater etc. & this would be a great chance for the US to work with the UN and set it up as an International Police Force as originally intended.

The UN doesn't rule the world.  The UN doesn't condemn terrorist attacks against Israel.  The UN blew it's job in Africa, whatever their conditions for war doesn't mean ANYTHING.

What is the U.N. doing about the genocide in Darfur?\nWhat they do about everything else..They are siting around in 1000 dollar suits paid for by American Tax dollars talking about the problem.

Why couldn't the UN? Not only did the UN not try to stop it, the UN authorized it!

Yes, the UN does have limited legal personality (Reparations Case) as functional neccessity requires. It it not a State, but has standing to bring a claim against sovereign States.

Human rights violations in Darfur are not made by the Sudanese government, there are gangs named Jinjaweed who are making that kind of violations.\nThe united states has no proof that the Sudanese government is the responsible.

Dont think so.After somalia the american govt has been plagued by the black hawk syndrome.And since sudan lies close to somalia the govt will be more hesitant to get involved.The only hope will be for other members of the U.N. to take a strong,unbiased and definate initiative about sudan.Maybe this will coax the american govt to get invlved.

I am already involved in the sudanese genocide in Dufor.It really broke my heart to see the story.\n\nOver a million blacks have been forced from their homes by Arab militias backed by the government, into camps if they aren't raped/killed on the way as tens of thousands have been. Now, the rainy season is coming which will worsen the sickness and malnutrition already rampant in the camps and make it tougher for aid to get in.\n\n I have sent a small but helpful donation.I wish I could go there and do some hands on help...especuially with the children who are homeless and in trouble.\n\nA big thank you for posting this and making others aware!!!

Actually, I'm not sure if the general population in Japan knows about what's happening in Sudan.  Although I don't watch the Japanese news all the time, I haven't seen any mention of Sudan when I have been watching.  And a quick search of the English version of the Daily Yomiuri online (one of Japan's biggest newspapers) gave only one result for "Sudan" under news.  It was an article about a professor of English having his students reading news articles for practice - here's what it said:\n \n"Although the seminar students have a high level of English ability, summarizing articles on unfamiliar topics was difficult, Sugita said. Reading articles on such topics as the conflict in Sudan illustrated how difficult some topics could be without background knowledge."\n\n...which also seems to imply that the Japanese people simply haven't heard anything about Sudan.\n\nI admit I could be wrong...however, the news here does seem pretty limited sometimes.  I've heard that there are strict government controls on what can and cannot be reported, which might have something to do with it.

Isn't the United Nations a fulfillment of that purpose?

I would like to see the United Nations become an agency with more teeth to it. It seems that most of the time, they sit around and talk and then after a few months of "You really ought to not do this or that", they get around to discussing possible sanctions, and ask permission to go see what may be going on. They don't act with enough authority. It would appear that any court of any of it's members could do a faster job of resolving a problem. (Maybe not to every ones satisfaction.) Why does it take the U.N so long? They need to become a world court that you don't mess around with.
