24 Hours, 365 Days for Darfur

About the above video: Georgette Gagnon, Deputy Director of the Africa Division for Human Rights Watch, puts forth their proposal for the redirection of Sudanese oil revenues into a Darfur Recovery Fund. Created under a UN Chapter 7 Resolution, the Fund would detract from Sudan’s ability to finance atrocities, pressuring Khartoum to accept the deployment of AU/UN peacekeepers and to end its abuses in Darfur. Gagnon also proposes further mechanisms for accountability, including targeted sanctions and ICC warrants against high-level perpetrators.

On June 30, you can join Gagnon at the Y for a discussion about the crisis in Darfur with actress/activist Mia Farrow (watch video of her calling on China to stop underwriting genocide); Daoud Hari, author of The Translator: A Tribesman’s Memoir of Darfur; Jill Savitt, Executive Director of Dream for Darfur and WNYC’s Leonard Lopate.
