There are three main things the United Nations can do to manage threats to world
peace.
Make notes in your lesson template.
The UN in Darfur - FEEDBACK NEGOTIATIONS
In 2004 the UN secretary general met with the
Sudanese government - following the talks there was a
joint agreement to stop the conflict.
Since then various peace deals have been signed and then broken between the
fighting groups.
The UN continue to be successful in getting both
sides to the negotiating table.
PEACEKEEPING FORCES
After UN negotiations (and the threat of sanctions) with the
Sudanese government, a small peacekeeping force (approx 300
troops) was allowed into Darfur in August 2004
In 2009 15000 were in place.
They have had some success in protecting civilians although they
themselves have come under attack from both sides on several
occasions.
THREAT OF SANCTIONS
On several occasions the UN has threatened sanctions (in particular to
prevent Sudan trading oil)
This has proved effective in winning several concessions from the
Sudanese government.
