Briefing on the United Nations African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID)

"The United States supports the African Union Peace and Security Council’s June 6 communiqué, the AU’s decision to suspend Sudan’s membership, and its strong message on the need to transition quickly to a civilian-led government. We also welcome the recent diplomatic initiative by the Ethiopian Prime Minister, undertaken along with the AU and IGAD, to engage the TMC and the opposition. These efforts will help encourage a peaceful resolution of the crisis."

- Ambassador Jonathan Cohen

Remarks at a UN Security Council Briefing on Conflict Prevention and Mediation

Remarks at a UN Security Council Briefing on Conflict Prevention and Mediation

"The United States has a long record of leading mediation efforts that have provided breakthroughs in some of the toughest conflicts – such as the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland and the Dayton Peace Accords that ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In both of these cases, the United States brought the right people into the room and served as a trusted facilitator of the agreements. Mediation is most successful when the right set of stakeholders are engaged and the mediator is trusted."
