Thank You for Your Videos, Emails, and Stories

"In December, I posed a question to the world’s young people, right here on this webpage. And that was, 'What is the most vital challenge to international peace and security facing your generation?' Over the following days and weeks, you responded in numbers that would have moved even the most cynical critics."

Darfur: Peacekeeping Mission Must Protect Civilians

“UNAMID is a Chapter 7 mission, with a robust protection of civilians mandate…the United States view is that we expect UNAMID, as one of the UN’s largest and most costly operations, with one of the most robust mandates passed by this Council, to be very active and, when necessary, aggressive, in fulfilling its mandate to protect civilians.”
