Sudan

Fire of Liberty

The US has stepped up to the situation in Sudan and has proposed some three resolutions to the UN. The first resolution is a 10,000 man UN peacekeeping force to ensure a peaceful resolution between the north and the south forces of Sudan. Secondly, the US has proposed a set of sanctions on Sudan due to its inability to respond or condem the genocide in Darfur. Finally, the US has also proposed the creation of an ad hoc tribunal based in Tanzania to try the people resonsible for the horrific crimes in the Sudanese heartland.

As with most things in the UN, there is a considerable amount of disagreement amongst the member states in the Security Council. To fully understand this, check here.
