UN
Presses for Deployment of Peacekeepers in Darfur;
Liberia Needs Continued Support to Promote Human
Rights, Says UN expert;
UN official Warns that Violence Undermines Stability
in Central African Republic
Diplomatic efforts are continuing
to persuade the government of Sudan to accept
a UN peacekeeping force in the troubled western
Darfur region. The head of UN peacekeeping operations,
Jean-Marie Guehenno says the UN will explain
the role of the UN operation to the Sudanese
authorities.
 "Our
fundamental goal is to have a UN mission in
Darfur because we believe that’s what’s
good for Darfur, what’s good for Sudan
and we will not abandon our effort we think
that eventually we’ll be successful."
Rebuilding the judicial system
is one of the major challenges facing Liberia
as it strives to promote human rights. The UN
independent Expert on the human rights situation
in Liberia, Charlotte Abaka says Liberia needs
international support to consolidate peace.
 "At
this stage it would be almost suicidal to forget
about Liberia because they have an elected government
in place. Liberia has been in this situation
before but because the country was abandoned,
we got what we go and this is not the time to
abandon Liberia.”
Fighting in the northern part
of the Central African Republic is creating
problems for the country as it tries to stabilize
itself following elections in May last year.
UN Humanitarian Coordinator for the country
Toby Lanzer says the Central African Republic
has the potential to develop because of its
natural resoruces.

Kenya
Calls for Urgent Action to Resolve Somalia
Crisis;
Independent Expert Says Conflict Has
Negative Impact on Human Rights in Somalia;
Ongoing
Crisis Forces Somalis to Flee to Kenya
Mr. Tuju, whose statement
to the General
Assembly focused on Somalia,
told UN Radio that if nothing is done
to help Somalia, the country may become
a haven for criminals and terrorists:
 "If
the situation deteriorates so that it
becomes that enclave where criminal
elements, terrorist elements may go
and hide, then
the international community
will be intervening when it is too late."
In Geneva, the UN independent
expert on human rights in Somalia, Ghanim
Alhajjar, tells the UN Human
Rights Council that events
during the past six months in Somalia
have had serious implications for the
human rights of the Somalis.
In Kenya, the
World Food Programme
spokeswoman Penny Fergusson says that
if the agency does not get additional
funding, it may have to cut its food
rations in November:
"The number of new arrivals coming
across the border from Somalia into
Kenya has been high this year and is
rising exponentially. Everyday, there
are between 300 and 400 people arriving."
