UN response to the Darfur crisis

23/02/2010 By Joanna Weschler

This paper will take a look at United Nations policy towards the crisis in Darfur over recent years.

It will focus primarily on the UN’s political bodies, in particular the Security Council, whose three Arab members in the period under review were Algeria (2004-2005), Qatar (2006-2007), and Libya (2008-2009), as the UN’s most powerful organ and one able to take a range of specific steps on the ground in conflict situations.

It will also take a particularly close look at early reactions to the Darfur tragedy, as these appear to have set the tone and determined further developments in subsequent years.
