UN Resolutions and Darfur

The USA is calling for more UN resolutions to push Khartoum to comply with the numerous other ones. How many UN resolutions will it take to make Khartoum capitulate? There were many UNR on Sudan, which include the ones about the previous conflict in the South.

Below are the ones that deal with the conflict in Darfur.

• 1709 (2006) of 22 September 2006
• 1706 (2006) of 30 August 2006
• 1679 (2006) of 16 May 2006,
• 1665 (2006) of 29 March 2006,
• 1663 (2006) of 24 March 2006,
• 1593 (2005) of 31 March 2005,
• 1591 (2005) of 29 March 2005,
• 1590 (2005) of 24 March 2005,
• 1574 (2004) of 19 November 2004,
• 1564 (2004) of 18 September 2004
• 1556 (2004) of 30 July 2004

Some important ones highlighted are:

• 1556 (2004) Calls on Sudan to end attacks by militias
• 1564 (2004) Threatens Sanctions against Sudan if violence continues in Darfur
• 1591 and 1593 (2005) Recommend suspects of war crimes in Darfur to ICC
• 1706 (2006) Vote to send UN troops to Darfur

That last resolution is the one causing headaches to Khartoum these days.
