Make Full Deployment of UNAMID a Reality

On January 1, 2008, a UN-African Union peacekeeping force (UNAMID) was deployed to Darfur with the mandate of protecting civilians. Many countries pledged troops and military hardware; but more than a year since its initial deployment, UNAMID remains severely under-resourced and just over 60% deployed. This failure by the international community continues to undermine UNAMID, which is hardly able to protect its forces, let alone the civilian population that it is mandated to protect. Urge key international actors – China, Egypt, South Africa, the U.K., and the U.S. – to fulfill their pledges and do everything in their capacity to ensure that UNAMID receives the equipment, troops, and funding it needs to operate successfully in protecting the people of Darfur.
