UN Peacekeepers Headed to Darfur by ENOUGH! / Video Genocide

This is a video titled ' UN Peacekeepers Headed to Darfur - ENOUGH! '. This item is part of the collection: blip.tv. LEAD YOUR LEADERS. Call your Senators and member of Congress and tell them to: Call 1-202-224-3121 from 9:00am--6:00pm EST, Monday through Friday. The Darfur Accountability and Divestment Act (H.R. 180) passed the House of Representatives on Tuesday, July 31, by a vote of 418 to one. This important bill would create a list of foreign companies helping to fund the genocide, prohibit U.S. government contracts with these companies, and provide federal protection to states that choose to divest. Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT) plans to introduce the same bill in the Senate, but there is opposition to critical provisions of H.R. 180. We need your help to make sure this legislation passes in its current form. Please call your senators NOW and urge them to co-sponsor or support the Darfur Accountability and Divestment Act (H.R. 180); co-sponsor or support Senator Richard Durbin's Sudan Disclosure and Enforcement Act of 2007 (S.1563). S.1563 seeks the disclosure of certain activities relating to the petroleum industry of Sudan, and to increase the penalties for violations of sanctions provisions; co-sponsor or support Representative Howard Berman's Genocide Accountabilty Act of 2007 (H.R.2489). H.R. 2489 seeks to close a legal loophole that prevents the United States from prosecuting individuals who are guilty of perpetrating genocide in foreign countries. (The Senate version S.888 passed the Senate March 29, 2007); co-sponsor or support Senator Robert Menendez's Senate Resolution 203 (S.RES.203). S.RES.203 urges China to help end the genocide in Darfur by encouraging a robust peacekeeping force and effective peace process. (The House version of the China resolution H.RES.422 passed unanimously June 5, 2007); exercise their oversight authority to ensure that the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act (DPAA) is implemented by the President. The DPAA was signed into law by President Bush on October 13, 2006; and urge President Bush to impose targeted UN Security Council sanctions against persons responsible for crimes against humanity in Darfur and Sudanese companies already sanctioned.

Don't put too much faith in the UN. "peacekeepers" only point guns at genocidal maniacs to defend themselves. They're not allowed to fire on them. Let's look at the great successes of the UN in Rwanda and Bosnia. They're as useless as crash test dummies when it comes to stopping genocide.

I wouldn't have too many high hopes on the UN.

[ORFdaGOD]

As part of UNAMID (United Nations African Mission In Darfur) 19,555 U.N./A.U. troops will be deployed in late December of 2007. Does anyone have any idea what nations the U.N. Security Council will invite in support of this peace keeping mission?

[SparklestheClown]

I really don't give a da.. about the oil. This is a travesty. President Bush spoke recently, and announced some sanctions, and support for UN peace troups to go in. Until, and Unless all countries sanction / put penalties stiff enough on this country, and its oppressive leaders, it will not be done. I am sick of military coups, dictators, communists(in the wrong sense) taking over whole peoples and stopping their freedom. It is not fair to the people.

[youssef55555]

is not enough

[ChoofMonster]

This is the after-effect of the colonization of every African nation (apart from Ethiopia) by European 'settlers'. Darfur is complex, because it is a civil conflict divided on tribal, ethnic, racial and religious lines; this is complicated by its lack of stable government and the fact that it has oil.

Can't see why there is any senate opposition to ending this humanitarian nightmare - unless they have exchanged any sense of morality for the almighty petro-dollar.
