United Nations in Darfur

The United Nations mission in Darfur is one of the largest missions worldwide, if not the largest. The mission is called African Union: United Nations mission in Darfur. It was started rather recently, in July of 2007. So far this mission has had a decent amount of success because the United Nations has joined forces of with the governments and militaries. This mission deals with both Social Issues and the HIV/AIDS issues. The United Nations estimates that there are over 1 million lives at stake in this civil war that is taking place in Darfur, and that is why it is one of their top priorities.

I think that when peace is wrought in Darfur, the United Nations should be seen as a more legitimate policy making bureau. This is only if a) Peace stays in Durfur for a long period of time and b) if the United Nations does this without the help of any large nation who will take the credit for it. Everyone agrees that something needs to be done about Darfur, and I assure you that the United Nations is doing all they can. Sometimes, this may not be good enough, be we can only hope in the long run that the United Nations work is good enough.
