Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan - Action Alert Background
WFM Analysis World Federalists support institutions of global governance that are democratically accountable and based on the rule of law. WFM – Canada and the international World Federalist Movement seek to broaden international acceptance of the "The Responsibility to Protect." Largely in response to the failure to protect in Rwanda, the principles and norms of the "The Responsibility to Protect” were articulated in 2001 in a report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty. Among other recommendations, the report calls for humanitarian intervention by the international community in the most serious national (domestic) situations. "Grave crimes, of a widespread and systematic nature, continue in Sudan,” says WFMC President, Hon. Warren Allmand. “The Sudanese government is demonstrably unable or unwilling to put an end to these crimes. The case for humanitarian intervention in Sudan is unavoidable." It is WFM-C's position that Canada and the international community must act now.
