As you know, a robust international peacekeeping force is one of the most crucial steps to saving Darfur.
But just what should a "robust" force look like?
Darfur policy experts from ENOUGH have just published the six criteria necessary for an effective peacekeeping mission. They include:
1. A strong mandate to protect civilians.
2. Management of the mission by the United Nations.
3. A sufficient level of troops and police drawn from around the
world.
4. Mobile resources and equipment needed for quick response
across Darfur's challenging terrain.
5. A strong emphasis on civilian and humanitarian needs.
6. Sufficient funding from the international community.
Please join me in sending a message to the White House urging the administration to ensure that all six elements are present in the final peacekeeping force deployed to Darfur. Click the URL below to sign the petition.

Two weeks ago, headlines reported that Sudan officials had "agreed" yet again to the deployment of a United Nations-African Union hybrid peacekeeping force. As time passes, this "agreement" - just like the others - seems to be crumbling. Sudanese President Bashir, himself, has publicly denied accepting the agreement.
Still, with this news, peacekeeping in Darfur is once again at the forefront of the minds of world leaders. It is crucial that the international community raise the pressure on Sudan until it allows the deployment of an effective force.
