I urge my colleagues to forcefully express themselves. to urge and perhaps even compel the Government of the Sudan to proceed to accept a United Nations peacekeeping force of some 20.000 to bring stability to that area. We have seen a drastic situation evolve where some 3 million people have been displacedperhaps a few more. perhaps a few lessand some 300.000 have been killed. The fighting goes on between the Government of Sudan and the rebels. And the prospects are for additional bloodshed and significant displacement of refugees are great unless there is some forceful action taken by the United Nations. The proposal has been made to have 20.000 U.N. peacekeepers deploy to Darfur to try to stabilize the situation. Regrettably. this has been rejected by the Government of Sudan.
