Eighteen months after the genocide began in Darfur, the world community continues to struggle to bring the bloodshed to an end.
As the United Nations convenes a special Security Council session in Kenya to focus on the Darfur crisis, three distinguished experts examined both the political and military options available to the UN and Western powers to stop the killing.
Among the questions addressed at the event were the use of UN sanctions, the nature and level of support for the African Union forces, the imposition of a no-fly zone, the relationship of the North/South negotiations to a settlement in Darfur, and the threat of uprisings in other parts of Sudan.
