This report examines possible international responses to the Darfur crisis. It proposes steps for a new international action plan and describes positions of parties involved. The paper states that international reponse so far has been inadequate and its achievements slight. It urges the UN Security Council to endorse a new international action plan - taking tougher measures against the Khartoum government, which has acted in bad faith throughout the crisis, and authorizing the African Union, with stronger international support, to follow up more decisively its efforts to improve the situation on the ground and mediate a political settlement.
