Urge the U.N. Security Council to Bring Security to Chad and C.A.R.

Join Amnesty in urging the U.N. Security Council to bring security to eastern Chad and the northeastern Central African Republic (C.A.R.).

The U.N.S.C. Resolution 1778, passed on September 25, 2007, authorized a multidimensional presence in eastern Chad and northeastern Central African Republic (C.A.R.) to protect displaced persons and other civilians in danger. The situation in these two areas has been exacerbated by the continuing crisis in Darfur, as well as by domestic conflicts and instability in Chad and C.A.R.

Now we must act to ensure that the United Nations Mission in the Central African Republic and Chad (M.I.N.U.R.C.A.T.) is implemented as well as conclude arrangements with the European Union to deploy the "European Union Operation," which is crucial to the UN multidimensional presence in the region. Any delay in the implementation of M.I.N.U.R.C.A.T. and the E.U. Operation will prolong the suffering and uncertain future of millions of people, including refugees and I.D.P.'s, in Chad and C.A.R.
