How is UN Resolution 1769 different from previous UNSC Resolutions on Darfur?
UN Resolution 1769 is the first unanimously adopted resolution authorizing a peacekeeping force for Darfur, and thus has greater international support for its implementation. Resolution 1769 was preceded in 2006 by Resolution 1706, which passed the Security Council despite opposition from China, Russia, and Qatar. Due to Sudanese obstruction and a lack of overwhelming international support, Resolution 1706 has the dubious honor of being the first ever UN peacekeeping mission to fail to deploy once authorized by the Security Council. Resolution 1769, on the other hand, was passed unanimously by the Security Council, and has been accepted by Sudan. It nearly quadruples the number of troops currently on the ground, provides protection for aid workers and does not explicitly require Sudan’s consent.
