و هنا خلاصة التقرير الذي كتبه ريتشارد وليامسون قبل عام فقط . في هذه الخلاصة نري توصيات السفير ريتشارد وليامسون و ما يطمح أن يراه لحل معضلة دارفور :
Going Forward
Every genocide is unique. Each has singular contributing factors and horrors that are particular.
But every ethnic cleansing and each act of genocide is evil. In the face of such evil and as
witness to such great suffering, to fail to act is morally inexcusable.
Michael Barnett was a political officer at the US Mission to the United Nations at the time of the
genocide in Rwanda. He has written a disturbing book that documents the actions and inactions
of the UN and its member states during the 100 days of mass slaughter in Rwanda. In Eyewitness
to Genocide, he writes, “[T]he UN preferred talk to action.… My images of the Rwanda
genocide are now situated alongside those of a UN so consumed by fears of its own mortality
that it had little evident compassion for those on the ground. When I now think of Rwanda… I
think of diplomats and UN officials hurriedly milling in and out of Security Council meetings.
They are reciting their talking points and proclaiming, in the UN’s locution, that they ‘remain
actively seized of the matter.’ And they deliver only rhetoric in the hope that rhetoric represents
its own consolation.”86 As Barnett points out, rhetoric is not sufficient. Action is required. We
ought not to turn our backs on the moral challenge of Darfur.
The United States cannot be the “world’s policeman” for every clash and conflict anywhere in
the world, nor should it be. There are limits to blood, treasury and reach. The US must be
attentive to national interests: security, economic and otherwise. But, at the same time, the US
cannot turn its back on the principles we hold nor the values we cherish. We cannot deny our
humanity. American exceptionalism is grounded in our morality and driven by a faith in the
transcendent value of the great ideas on which our nation was founded: faith, the rule of law,
freedom, opportunity and the equal rights of all mankind. Surely ethnic cleansing and genocide
so offend our ideals and trample our values that it must stir us to action.
The stain of blood from this killing frenzy in Darfur rests not only on the hands of those in attack
helicopters swooping down on defenseless villages and those who ride on camel and horseback
to burn dwellings, kill livestock, slay black males and rape women. The taint also rests on those
who fail to stop the killing. It scars our time, disfigures the conscience of decency and debases
any claim to righteousness.
That we cannot do everything does not mean we should do nothing.
In 2005, NATO began a fledgling training mission to help better prepare the AU peacekeepers in
Sudan. Lately, it has provided some airlifts. On February 12, President Bush met with Secretary-General
Annan in the Oval Office, after which, Annan said, “I’m very happy that we have agreed
to work together on the Darfur issue, working with other governments from Europe, from Asia
and other regions to ensure that we do have an effective security presence on the ground.”87 And
on March 20, 2006, President Bush met with NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Schaffer to
discuss a possible expansion of NATO’s role in Sudan.88 After the meeting, Bush said he would
like to see more NATO involvement to “make it clear to the Sudanese government that we’re
intent upon providing security for the people there, and intent upon helping work toward a
lasting peace.”89
It is important that the US commit diplomatic and other resources to insure progress at the Darfur
peace talks in Abuja. Just as Bush sent John Danforth to help broker a peace between northern
and southern Sudan, the President should also designate a special envoy to the peace talks in
Abuja.90
The US also should remain actively engaged on the Darfur issue at the UN Security Council with
other member states and the Secretariat working for a comprehensive plan for UN peacekeepers,
sufficient resources to get the job done and early deployment. The US should continue to push
for Security Council targeted sanctions against individuals responsible for the worst abuses
including seizing assets, targeted travel bans and an arms embargo. If we cannot get muscular
sanctions through the Security Council, the US should pursue US-European sanctions. The US,
in addition to its own contributions, should actively solicit others to step forward to guarantee
success.91
Acting with our allies, the US should push for greater NATO involvement to help stop the killing
in Darfur. It is especially important that the government push France and Germany to support
NATO enforcement of a no-fly zone over Darfur. Bush is on the right track. However, the US
must lean forward and redouble our efforts to insure that NATO and the UN accomplish the
mission our values require us to accept.
Sixty years ago, the United States joined with others in saying, “Never again.” Is it not time to
give meaning to that pledge? Do we not owe that to the innocent, defenseless people of Darfur?
Do we not owe that to ourselves?
