I am very concerned about the continuing humanitarian crisis in Darfur, Sudan. I am therefore grateful for the commitment you have made to go to Sudan, and for the response to this emergency that Canada has shown to date. But civilians are still at risk. The government of Sudan has failed to meet its international obligations. Clearly, the international community must do more. Continued diplomatic engagement is essential, until the Sudanese government fulfills its commitments referred to in Security Council Resolutions 1564 and 1556. Holding political leaders accountable as individuals can also be an effective measure. In your meetings with Sudanese leaders and in your public pronouncements, I hope that you will also make clear the determination of the Canadian government to see that persons found to have been involved in the commission of war crimes and other criminal acts will be prosecuted. | |
