Re: Canada's Responsibility to Protect in Sudan Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper - and - Foreign Minister Peter Mackay, Canada must do much more to end the ethnic cleansing in Sudan and safeguard the security of Sudanese civilians at risk. The Sudanese government is demonstrably unable or unwilling to put an end to these crimes. The case for humanitarian intervention in Sudan is unavoidable.The following measures should be supported by Canada: * Support the deployment of a robust UN force, preferably under the mandate of the UN Security Council, with responsibility and powers to protect civilians, replacing the current ineffective African Union force AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. * Support the enforcement of the no-fly zone declared by the UN to prevent Sudan from using helicopters and bombers to attack civilians. * Support stricter enforcement of targeted sanctions against Sudanese political leaders. * Exert international pressure on the Government of Sudan urging compliance with investigations by the International Criminal Court Prosecutor. The government of Canada supports measures such as the creation of the International Criminal Court, the Responsibility to Protect report, a 'human security' framework for policy engagement and the NEPAD (New Economic Partnership for African Development,which encourages the further development of the AU). A stronger commitment to end the atrocities in Sudan would be fully consistent with Canada�s existing foreign policy. | |
