UNHCR condemns abuses in Sudan |
2005-04-22 |
![]() The African countries agreed to remove wording that praised the Sudanese government's steps to improve the situation in Darfur, while the Western countries dropped specific condemnation of the Sudanese government. The resolution said, "The commission condemns continued, widespread and systematic violations by all parties of human rights and international humanitarian law" in Darfur. It specifically condemned "the violence against civilians and sexual violence against women and girls, destruction of villages, widespread displacement and other violations." |

#6 It's still not genocide tho.... Of course not. Genocide can only be declared after everyone is dead. |

#4 If people in that hell hole of a place weren't being killed, maimed and terrorized on a massive scale it would almost be more humorous than patheric. What a waste. And the point of it all is? "Weeks of negotiation" led to the EU withdrawing the "more strongly worded document." It all adds up to nothing more meaningful than a huge squandering of time, money, and life. Somebody should do an economic study into the sum cost of spitting out these "resolutions." |

#3 The resolution, passed by consensus and adopted without a roll-call vote, had support from Sudan and other African nations... Well if it has the support of the nation it's condemning, you just know how effective it's gonna be. Do the Morons of Turtle Bay just think the world is inhabited my morons or do they consider it an established fact? |

#1 That's the perfect graphic for a whitewash namby-pamby "all parties" are being vewy vewy bad. They'll be sent to bed without their milk and cookies if they don't play nice. Everybody agreed to dumb-down the resolution to the point of utter pointlessness. And pointlessness is Job 1 at the UN. Mission accomplished. |
