    Properly constituted, peace operations can be one useful tool to advance American national interests and pursue our national security objectives. The U.S. cannot be the world's policeman. Nor can we ignore the increase in armed ethnic conflicts, civil wars and the collapse of governmental authority in some states -- crises that individually and cumulatively may affect U.S. interests. This policy is designed to impose discipline on both the UN and the U.S. to make peace operations a more effective instrument of collective security.

    So, does PDD-25, developed by Richard Clarke during/for the Clinton administration allow us to do anything about Sudan?



    Are all of these conditions met?
    • UN involvement advances U.S. interests, and there is an international community of interest for dealing with the problem on a multilateral basis.

    • There is a threat to or breach of international peace and security, often of a regional character, defined as one or a combination of the following:

      -International aggression, or;

      -Urgent humanitarian disaster coupled with violence;

      -Sudden interruption of established democracy or gross violation of human rights coupled with violence, or threat of violence.

    • There are clear objectives and an understanding of where the mission fits on the spectrum between traditional peacekeeping and peace enforcement.

    • For traditional (Chapter VI) peacekeeping operations, a ceasefire should be in place and the consent of the parties obtained before the force is deployed.

    • For peace enforcement (Chapter VII) operations, the threat to international peace and security is considered significant.

    • The means to accomplish the mission are available, including the forces, financing and mandate appropriate to the mission.

    • The political, economic and humanitarian consequences of inaction by the international community have been weighed and are considered unacceptable.

    • The operation's anticipated duration is tied to clear objectives and realistic criteria for ending the operation.

    Nah. We won't do anything about it.
