Tuesdays in June: Vigils for Darfur

Vigils for Darfur:
The U.S. will hold the presidency of the Security Council during June.

Tuesdays in June, noon to 2 pm
(June 10, 17, and 24)

At US Mission to the United Nations,
140 E. 45th St,
(between Lexington and 3rd Ave.)

The U.S. will hold the presidency of the Security Council during June.
This is the time for the U.S. to use its leverage to push the UN to enforce the resolutions it has already passed and deploy the already-authorized UN troops (UNAMID) and impose multilateral sanctions on the Sudanese regime, in order to end ongoing atrocities, being carried out with impunity by the Sudanese government.

Call for international justice and accountability, including arrest of Sudanese officials who have been indicted by the International Criminal Court.
Now is a time of renewed violence in Darfur. In the wake of a failed coup in Khartoum, Darfuris in the capital are being targeted on the basis of their ethnicity. Civilians not involved in the coup attempt are being executed and disappered. There are also renewed attacks on Darfuri villages.
