SUBJECT: COUNCIL APPROVES UN DARFUR FORCE BY COUNT OF
12-0-3 WITH 9 CO-SPONSORS
REF: A. WWW.UN.ORG/NEWS/PRESS/DOCS/2006/SC8821.DOC.HT M
¶B. SECSTATE 143865
¶1. (U) In an August 31 formal meeting, the Security Council
adopted the UK-U.S. draft resolution expanding UNMIS' mandate
into Darfur. The draft included nine co-sponsors: Argentina,
Denmark, France, Ghana, Greece, Slovakia, Tanzania, the UK
and the U.S. The final vote count was 12 votes in favor,
zero opposed and three abstentions by China, Qatar and
Russia. Thirteen members gave Explanations of Vote (EOVs)
after the vote; statements can be found ref A. The
resolution was adopted as UN document S/RES/1706 (2006); text
in Para 5.
¶2. (SBU) UN Department of Political Affairs
Assistant-Secretary-General Kalomoh and the Charge of the
Sudanese Mission also attended the formal meeting.
Co-sponsors of the text materialized at the last minute, but
noticeably absent was African Union Chair Congo's
co-sponsorship, despite interventions by our delegation and
by the French, who less than 12 hours earlier had received
assurances from Brazzaville that Congo would do so.
Congolese PermRep Ikouebe told Ambassador Bolton he had
received instructions from his capital just prior to the
meeting to vote in favor of the resolution but not to
co-sponsor it, an unsurprising result after Ikouebe's
defensive posture in August 30 Sudan consultations, which in
turn likely resulted from a series of stern demarches in
Brazzaville. The Peruvian delegation confessed its reasons
for not co-sponsoring were purely circumstantial, as August
30-31 were Peruvian national holidays, making leaders in Lima
impossible to reach.
¶3. (SBU) Despite initial indications from Moscow that the
Russian delegation might vote for the resolution, 11th-hour
instructions were given to Russian PermRep Churkin (who was
accordingly late to the meeting) to join his Chinese and
Qatari counterparts in abstaining. COMMENT: Russian PermRep,
DPR and staff explained that they had fought hard to win
Moscow's approval of the resolution and indeed predicted a
favorable vote as late as yesterday evening. They explained
today, however, that strong Chinese lobbying in Moscow had
derailed their efforts.
¶4. (SBU) China, Qatar and Russia in their EOVs attributed
their abstentions to the timing of the resolution's adoption,
rather than to its content. The Qatari delegation told USUN
privately that it viewed the re-wording of the reference to
Sudanese consent for UN Darfur deployment in OP1 ('and
therefore invites the consent of the Government of National
Unity for the deployment') as making the resolution worse,
particularly from their legal perspective. Qatar feared that
such a formulation left open the possibility for the Sudanese
government to be accused of non-compliance with UNSCR 1706 in
the event it fails to give its consent to the UN deployment,
an interpretation Qatar noted had already been cited by the
Ghanaian delegation (which had favored no mention of the need
for consent at all).
¶5. (U) Begin UNSCR 1706 text:
The Security Council,
Recalling its previous resolutions concerning the situation
in the Sudan, in particular resolutions 1679 (2006) of 16 May
2006, 1665 (2006) of 29 March 2006, 1663 (2006) of 24 March
2006, 1593 (2005) of 31 March 2005, 1591 (2005) of 29 March
2005, 1590 (2005) of 24 March 2005, 1574 (2004) of 19
November 2004, 1564 (2004) of 18 September 2004 and 1556
(2004) of 30 July 2004 and the statements of its President
concerning the Sudan,
USUN NEW Y 00001703 002 OF 006
Recalling also its previous resolutions 1325 (2000) on women,
peace and security, 1502 (2003) on the protection of
humanitarian and United Nations personnel, 1612 (2005) on
children and armed conflict, and 1674 (2006) on the
protection of civilians in armed conflict, which reaffirms
inter alia the provisions of paragraphs 138 and 139 of the
2005 United Nations World Summit outcome document, as well as
the report of its Mission to the Sudan and Chad from 4th to
10th June 2006,
Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, unity,
independence, and territorial integrity of the Sudan, which
would be unaffected by transition to a United Nations
operation in Darfur, and to the cause of peace, expressing
its determination to work with the Government of National
Unity, in full respect of its sovereignty, to assist in
tackling the
various problems confronting the Sudan and that a United
Nations operation in Darfur shall have, to the extent
possible, a strong African participation and character,
Welcoming the efforts of the African Union to find a solution
to the crisis in Darfur, including through the success of the
African Union-led Inter-Sudanese Peace Talks on the Conflict
in Darfur in Abuja, Nigeria, in particular the framework
agreed between the parties for a resolution of the conflict
in Darfur (the Darfur Peace Agreement), commending the
efforts of the signatories to the Darfur Peace Agreement,
expressing its belief that the Agreement provides a basis for
sustained security in Darfur, reiterating its welcome of the
statement of 9 May 2006 by the representative of the Sudan at
the United Nations Security Council Special
Session on Darfur of the Government of National Unity's full
commitment to implementing the Agreement, stressing the
importance of launching, with the African Union, the
Darfur-Darfur Dialogue and Consultation as soon as possible,
and recognising that international support for implementation
of the Agreement is critically important to its success,
Commending the efforts of the African Union for the
successful deployment of the African Union Mission in the
Sudan (AMIS), as well as the efforts of Member States and
regional and international organisations that have assisted
it in its deployment, and AMIS' role in reducing large-scale
organised violence in Darfur, recalling the decision of the
African Union Peace and Security Council of 10 March 2006,
and its decision of 27 June 2006, as outlined in paragraph 10
of its Communique, that the African Union is ready to review
the mandate of AMIS in the event that the ongoing
consultations between the Government of National Unity and
the United Nations conclude on an agreement for a transition
to a United Nations peacekeeping operation,
stressing the need for AMIS to assist implementation of the
Darfur Peace Agreement until transition to the United Nations
force in Darfur is completed, welcoming the decision of the
African Union Peace and Security Council of 27 June 2006 on
strengthening AMIS' mandate and tasks, including on the
protection of civilians, and considering that AMIS needs
urgent reinforcing,
Reaffirming its concern that the ongoing violence in Darfur
might further negatively affect the rest of the Sudan as well
