Abstract

Is there a crisis in darfur? This question looks at first sight rather provoking; everybody is aware of what is happening there. It is one of the main international hot spots. All the more so as the horrible events in darfur are everything but new. However, this conflict takes place while the world looks the other way. Will darfur just be another example of the United Nations Organization's weakness? The articles we studied are mainly extracted from the newspaper The Economist. They all denounce the international passivity facing a human tragedy and its incapacity to pick up the gauntlet. what is happening in darfur? How are theoretical guidelines, inspired by human rights and democracy, practically implemented? Why do policymakers and international organizations all look useless? Is the UNO a smokescreen framework which permits to the States to forget basic principles of political duty, when mankind is threatened? Is there an opportunity to put principle into practice, so as to leave this deadlock situation? Firstly, darfur is the place where an awful tragedy is spreading. In the second part, we will try to understand the international passivity itself, which borders at first sight on pure irrationality. First and foremost, darfur's tragedy has been going on for three years and a half; slaughters, rapes and civil refugees are increasing day-by-day. A historical and geographical view is likely to be helpful to seize the current situation. Sudan is a former British colony, which reached its independence in 1966. This largest country in Africa has no easy access either to the Red Sea or Indian Ocean.
