Et enigt Sikkerhedsråd har tirsdag vedtaget en skarpt formuleret resolution om fredsaftalen i Darfur , der bl.a. kræver, at FN får mulighed for at overtage den Afrikanske Unions fredsmission i området.
Resolutionen var foreslået af Danmark sammen med USA, Storbritannien og bl.a. alle de afrikanske lande i Sikkerhedsrådet. Generalsekretæren anmodes om inden en uge at udsende en planlægningsmission til Sudan og fremlægge optioner for en FN operation.
I den forbindelse udtaler udenrigsminister Per Stig Møller (K):
– Jeg er meget tilfreds med den markante beslutning, Danmark har været med til at få på plads i Sikkerhedsrådet. Det er vigtigt, at vi bakker op om AU og de parter, der har vist mod til at indgå de nødvendig kompromisser og underskrive en fredsaftale. Nu gælder det om at fastholde momentum og hurtigt få parterne til at arbejde sammen om gennemførelsen af alle de konkrete elementer, der er fastlagt i aftalen.
– Samtidig må vi gøre det helt klart for dem, der forsøger at forhindre fredsaftalens gennemførelse, at det ikke vil blive tolereret. Sikkerhedsrådet imødekommer dermed et direkte ønske fra den Afrikanske Union (AU), som i går bad FN om at være parat med yderligere sanktioner mod personer eller grupper, der står i vejen for fred i Darfur.
– Resolutionens utvetydige advarsel til Sudan er derfor en støtte til AU og Darfurs befolkning, slutter Per Stig Møller.
