Hey Gavin you sweetie pie. Thanks so much for picking up on the Sudan. Sorry though you did not link to the Sudan blog "Passion of the Present" out of Harvard - Jim Moore is working awfully hard on it and gets feedback on who's helping to raise awareness via tracking links to the Sudan blog. If I could twist your gorgeous 23-year-old arm into putting a link to

as an update in your post - or in your sidebar - I'm sure Jim would be most grateful. Yesterday Oxford launched a new appeal for Western Sudan. And Kofi Annan is speaking at Harvard on June 10th. Jim and several others living in the Boston/Cambridge area are planning a peace rally for the Sudan on that day.

Something has to be done Ingrid..

Oxford?! I meant Oxfam. Note the time on my last comment. It's amazing where time goes when your trying to catch up on a few blogs here and there...write a few posts... respond to a few comments... I always marvel at how journalists come up with two-page spreads - in papers like the Sunday Times - on complex breaking news stories. It takes me all day to publish a few posts to my weblog.

Hi.

Since it appears that you are familiar with the devastation wrought by genocide in Darfur, Western Sudan, where outlaw Islamic militias are
killing Nubian Christians, in Nigeria, where the Christians and Moslems are killing each other, and in Kosovo in central Europe, where Moslems are killing Serbian Christians. It's a series of atrocities spread across Europe and Africa, and I have a website dedicated to the victims:

I am requesting the you send a poem for the webpages if you are a poet, sign the guestbook, send the url on to anyone you know who might wish to help stop the carnage, or all of the above.

Thanks for your time and consideration,

Jim Dunlap, webmaster
Voices for Africa

Exactly right.

This is genocide.

We must stop it.

Why the silence? Europe, the Arab league, China -- influential trading partners and countries with close ties -- must bring pressure.

Sudan's leading trade partners are: China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Britain, Germany

What specific discernible disparity exists between the reality of what is taking place on the ground in Sudan, and that which constitutes Genocide, as defined by Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (General Assembly Resolution 260 A (III) of 9 December 1948)?

Article 2

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part?
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

At what point does non-compliance, by the High Contracting Parties to the Convention, with the prevention provision within Article 1 constitute a de facto denunciation of the Convention?

Article 1

The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace, or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and to punish.
