It is absolutely essential. It is essential to stopping the Arab militias from continuing to perpetuate a genocide. It is essential to clearing the path for crucial food and water and health supplies to reach refugee camps. And it is essential because injustice is only really addressed when it is obliterated. not when it is slowed to an excruciating trickle of displacement. harassment. and disrupted lives. We must have that larger U.N. force in Sudan. The international community has spoken with one voice but more pressure needs to be applied on Khartoum. This resolution urges those who may have the most influence. the Arab League and its member states. to declare the systematic torture. rape. and displacement of Darfurians a genocide. to support and accept U.N. peacekeepers to enforce the ceasefire. protect civilians. and ensure access to humanitarian assistance in Darfur. and to work with the United Nations. the African Union and the United States Presidential Special Envoy for Sudan. Andrew Natsios. to bring about peace and stability to Darfur. the refugee camps. and along the Chadian border. H. Con. Res. 7 urges the League of Arab States to: (1) declare the systematic torture. rape. and displacement of Darfurians a genocide. (2) pass a resolution to support and accept U.N. peacekeepers to enforce the ceasefire. protect civilians. and ensure access to humanitarian assistance in Darfur. and (3) work with the United Nations. the African Union and the United States Presidential Special Envoy for Sudan. Andrew Natsios. to bring about peace and stability to Darfur. the refugee camps. and along the Chadian border. Nevertheless the violence continues. indeed. the violence is escalating. This violence is making it even more dangerous. if not impossible. for most of the millions of displaced persons to retum to their homes and for humanitarian relief agencies to bring food and medical aid.
