Resolution 2006/32: Concerning the Continuing Problem of the Sudan
This poll is closed
Do you support sending UN peacekeeping reinforcements to Darfur?
Yes88%
No13%
Abstain0%
Total votes: 8
EDIT: It has been decided, following the confusion and the point raised by the Indian delegate, that this Resolution is a call for reinforcements to the existing MUN Darfur Force.
The General Assembly of The United Nations,
Deeply disturbed by the ongoing humanitarian disaster in the Darfur region,
Bearing in mind the Sudanese government's refusal to allow international aid to the region and support for the Janjawid,
Noting with deep concern the recent expulsion of the UN envoy to Khartoum,
Having considered the apparent insufficiency of the existing (M)UN force in the region,
1. Calls on the Sudanese government to co-operate with the UN in order to minimise this humanitarian crisis;
2. Authorises that further action be taken without the consent of the Sudanese government if they fail to comply;
3. Recommends that a further UN peacekeeping force be sent to the Darfur region to reinforce the existing one, its composition to be decided at a later date.
4. Requests all nations that feel able to do so to pledge a number of troops to be assigned to the Darfur region, no matter how small the number.

Slovenia supports this resolution and will send as many troops troops as needed.
Nigeria supports this resolution and offers to provide troops and base as are needed. Our world acclaimed infantry would be of utmost use in such a region as Sudan.
The growth of any African nation has become one of the major responsibilities of Nigeria and we shall do everything to ensure that such growth is achieved.

This resolution is symbolically encouraging, but realistically impracticable.
Firstly, the AU possesses neither the logistics nor the manpower to send more troops into the Darfur region. The force is currently too small and ill-equipped to effect any kind of control in Darfur, and the AU too cash-strapped to pledge more resources to the region.
As for the situation being referred to the UN - as President Obasanjo of Nigeria suggested some months ago - South Africa is skeptical as to the practical implementation of this. The Sudanese government have already declined UN intervention, interpreting it as an attempt to return colonial rule to the area. The general lack of co-operation shown by the Sudanese government is a difficult obstacle to overcome.
South Africa is very keen to see the crisis in Darfur resolved, and is encouraged by the willingness of the international community to contribute to the peace effort. We will therefore support this motion fully, albeit with some reservations as to its practical feasiblity.
We also wish to applaud the efforts of President Obasanjo and the AU in curbing this crisis. It is important that any resolution proposed retains an African character, and we are pleased to see that this is the case.

If China refused to support 17500 personnel to be sent there, I dont see how it will support this completely carte blanche resolution.

Not if there is sufficient resolve from the international community. If the AU cannot carry out the job, then there's no use refusing to let the UN do it.
Up to a point. But when African efforts fail, which as you have pointed out has already happened with regard to the AU, it is the duty of the world, via the UN, to step in. That said, it would certainly be advisable for a significant proportion of the troops sent to be drawn from African nations.

I agree with these comments entirely.
It was never going to be 'practical', but it has to be done! Also, it is absolutely essential that the MUN avoid stepping on eggshells around issues. We will not be taken seriously, and our position will deteriorate unless we execute our duty.
We also wish to applaud the efforts of President Obasanjo and the AU in curbing this crisis.
It is intresting to note that our efforts to make African nations great is appreciated by the UN. We shall not rest on our oars and shall put in all we have to make sure our dream of a truly 'civilised' and 'developed' Africa.
I disagree. For the Resolution, yes it would be a good idea; for the MUN itself, no.
Although given that the number of troops is tbc, I don't see what reasonable objection China could have anyway.

This may be seen as an extreme course of action, a "wrong" course of action and may result in Ukraine being deemed barbaric, or violent, or a dinosaur, or something along those lines. However, Ukraine feels the need to spark alternate debate and propose alternate solutions, as South Africa (extremely brilliantly) did.
Full military intervention, a la Kosovo and Yugoslavia. First of all, it gets us past all the red tape, diplomatic bluster and the stubbornness of Sudan. Secondly, the guerillas are poorly armed, along with the army of Sudan should they resist. Finally, if the Sudan army and government feel the need to resist intervention, it would be easy to topple them with the modern weaponry of Ukraine and other countries in the UN. America and Britain are those mainly involved in the Irag and Afghanistan conflicts and peacekeeping missions, however many European and countries from other regions armies are not involved, or have a very low level of involvement, and have very modern armies. These include Germany, France, Ukraine and Sweden to name a few. Finally, this is a far different situation from Iraq, as the Iraqis were armed fairly well as are the insurgents with fairly modern ex-Soviet weaponry. This could also be said for Afghanistan.

I see your point but if the Sudanese government rejects UN intervention, as it has done, to force UN troops into the country would be tantamount to invasion. South Africa will not allow a sovereign African nation to be invaded by the international community. It seems to do more harm than good. We learnt this lesson in Iraq, let us not repeat it in Africa. I'm sure my fellow African delegates in the GA will agree with me here.
To this effect, South Africa requests that clause 2 be removed. Military action should not be taken in Sudan without the consent of the Sudanese government.

We should not, by any standards, mistake the situation in Sudan with that of Iraq. The motives for the invasion of Iraq is different and we all know that there is no oil in Sudan.

However, Nigeria sees a point in your campaign against "invading" Sudan. In contemporary times, military action should be the very last of options. Therefore, we opine that rather than hasten to invade Sudan, the AU in conjuction with the UN should seek other means of correcting the misnoma operating in Sudan.
