In this draft resolution the African Group at the UN Human Rights Council has presented on Darfur, the Group proposes merely "adequate financial and technical assistance to the Government of Sudan in the promotion and protection of Human Rights." Not only does the African Union exclude mention of Sudan's gross violations of those rights (other than noting it has the responsibility to protect them), it will reward the government with assistance. The text calls on "all parties" to end violations of human rights, failing to name the one side perpetrating the genocide in Darfur.
