The humanitarian crisis in Darfur, Sudan since 2003 has attracted empty promises by the international Community.

(i) How do you think the UN can intervene in situations like this ?

(ii) Would that require a change in its jurisdicition ?

(i) The UN intervention in such situations can be through its various agencies such as World Health Organisation and World Food Programme.

(ii) There is a need for a change in its jurisdiction because these situations fall under the jurisdiction of the General Assembly. The decisions of the General Assemebly are not binding on UN members. As there should be a change and the decisions of the General Assembly should be made binding on its members. This will enable the General Assembly to intervene in such situation in an effective manner.
