CAN THE AFRICAN UNION DO IT ALONE? Wednesday, July 20, 2005
INTRODUCTION
This panel discussion focuses on the role of the African Union in Darfur, Sudan. Panelists discuss the mandate of the African Union and identify ways to improve the effectiveness of the force. The panel considers if adding to the size of the force will improve effectiveness or if a change in mandate to include civilian protection will provide greater security for the people of Darfur. Additionally panelists discuss what the African Union can achieve realistically and the benefits of providing help from the United Nations, the European Union and NATO.
