That this House is alarmed that, more than one year after the signing of a ceasefire agreement on Darfur, the situation continues to deteriorate, that the peace process remains stalled and the people of Darfur still lack adequate protection, that 10,000 people continue to die each month and insecurity, increased targeting of humanitarian workers and physical and sexual violence continue unabated; urges military and logistical support from NATO and the European Union for African Union troops and a stronger and clearer civilian protection mandate for the African Union backed up by an increased troop force of up to 10,000; calls for the international community to provide full support to the International Criminal Court investigation on Darfur; calls on the Government to appoint a senior special envoy to support the Darfur peace process and monitor implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and to seek rapid deployment of the UN-mandated peacekeeping mission to Southern Sudan; and further calls on the international community to provide support for humanitarian and reconstruction needs to long-suffering communities in the South and across all marginalised areas in Sudan.
